Linus Baker is a case worker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth and he does everything by the book. He lives alone with his cat, content with his life as it is. Until he's sent on a secret mission to an orphanage on a mysterious island...

I'm totally in love with this book! The characters are lovely, the personal growth is wonderful, and it's amazingly queer! This is a magical story about alienation, friendship, progress and found family. It is both serious and fun and I would recommend it to almost anyone. This is definitely a book I want to read again!
