"This book was so good! I really didn't know what to expect going into it, but it did not disappoint in the least! Definitely going to be one of my new comfort reads, and I wish I had read it sooner! I loved Linus and Arthur so much! Lucy was probably my favorite of the kids, though I loved them all! Such an amazing book! Love the found family trope! Definitely worth the read! 10/10 would recommend! "

"I could not put this book down it was so sweet and magical. The relationships between Linus and each of the children is so endearing. The writing and the imagery of the juxtaposition of settings was so fun to read as well. Absolutely loved this book! "

"enchanting and charming only scratch the surface for how i could describe this masterpiece. The story is fantastical and you connect with the characters on such a deep level. I guarantee I will not ever stop thinking about this book and I hope to one day re-read it. The story is “childlike” but the way it is written definitely connects to adults and humans as a whole. Absolutely stunning!!"

"Look into the author and how he exploited indigenous children and their history before reading. I still enjoyed the book, as someone who has worked with foster kids, but if I had known the back story I wouldn’t have read it. Also, obviously support BIPOC and indigenous authors as well. "
