I so very rarely give out 5 stars. This book has a little bit of everything though, and it does so so masterfully.
The academic whimsy of Harry Potter. The history and language lessons thrown in so seemlessly you don't even realize you're learning about (mostly) real historical until after you're done reading. The friendships. The twists and turns. Agh it's so good.
