I loved this book. Every single character is amazing, I loved all of the kids, Lucy has a special place in my heart. Chauncey is the sweetest child, Sal is incredibly strong and so talented, Theodore is so funny and cute, Talia is such a fierce little gnome, I just love her attitude, and Phee is really a really caring and loyal sprite. 
The way Linus changes and opens his heart to the kids ad to Arthur is just so heartwarming. It's amazing to see how he found his family, he found happiness and he gave joy to this kids. 
The only reason I didn't gave this book 5 stars is that sometimes the speeches about prejudice were a little too much, the first times it was okay, but it happened a lot of times and it was just the same every time. 

I really enjoyed this story, it felt like a hug to my soul, I hadn't read something so sweet in so long. The ending is a happy ending, it may seem a bit unrealistic but it makes sense for the plot.
