This book was definitely the hug we needed. I cannot say enough about how much I loved these characters and how they won over my heart. Although,  the basics of this book is about Linus who is a caseworker investigating the orphanage on the island and the man, Arthur, who runs it, it runs much deeper than that. This book is about love, acceptance, being yourself, bravery, and friendship. I cried at some parts because haven't  we all been through a time when no one liked us because we were misunderstood? This was something I could identify with. I love all the children in the book, but I do love Theodore a little more because he is a wyvern. I would adore him and I could think of all the mischief he would create, such fun. Might have to keep him away from the pool though, not sure if he can swim. I highly suggest to those who haven't  read this book to please read it, yo will not be disappointed. I would love to have any of these children in my home and I think my boys would love it too.
