This reminded me A LOT of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and even though it is not tagged as Young Adult fiction, that is what this is. The character development is better than the last TJ Klune book I read (In the Lives of Puppets), and I enjoyed this book a lot more.

It is a wholesome story, with likeable, quirky characters.
