This book is sweet, cozy, and hope filled. It has some darker moments, mentions of child abuse. But it made me laugh out loud several times, tear up a couple moments, and I ultimately finished with a big smile on my face. I desperately wanted there to be more. I can't wait to read the sequels!

My heart is too full of love for this book that I can’t figure out what to say. The characters are beyond lovable; they’re perfection. Linus Baker, you sweet adorable man. I’m so grateful for being able to watch your journey. I felt seen the entire time.
A couple quotes out of context:
A couple quotes out of context:
- They already were my friends. I want rubies.
- He dreams of a future that he may never have. And while his dreams may seem small, they are still his and his alone.
- I don’t know how to be anyone but who I already am. This is how I’ve always been. It’s not much, but I do the best I can with what I have.
- But that’s the funny thing about wishes. Sometimes all it took to make them come true was a first step.

Characters have been abused in the past, but are in a place where they can heal. Cannibalism is in reference to jokes made by children on imaginary adventures.champagnerain's review against another edition

Interesting plot concept, bit of a heavy-handed treatment of the negative impacts of exclusion and jumping to conclusions. Still a cozy ready.
