This was the fifth book-club book me and my friend's read this year. I think that this book were the first book all four of us really enjoyed. 

This book is both cute and gets your brain thinking. The main character gets an assignment to visit a children's home for magical children. I think that the children are my favorite characters in this book instead of the main character and the adults. 

I liked Klune's writing, it's easy to read and understand, but also lively and vivid. I like when books languages are easy and direct witch made me interested to read a second book by Klune. 

It's over a month since I finished this book so I don't have so much to say right now :(

Quotes I liked:

"A home isn't always the house we live in. It's also the people we choose to surround ourselves with." - Helen, p. 281

"What's the point of living if you only do it how others want you to?" - Zoe, P. 339


Took me 10 hours and 32 minutes to read.
