I haven’t read a book this fast in a while but I LOVE whimsy books where it’s just a touch of magic in a normal world. I, too, fell in love with all the kids just as Linus does.
Overall it made me happy and reminded me why I love reading so much. Living in this world for a couple of days was fun.

I loved this story and wanted to give it 5 stars but I couldn’t get past the fat phobia and self body shaming. For a book about acceptance it missed the mark there.

After reading a rather heavy historical fiction novel I was looking for something lighthearted to read. I decided to try this fantasy novel for something different and because of all the great reviews. I realize I am in the minority here but I didn’t love this book. For one it seemed like the author spent a lot of time “teaching” his audience through one character- Arthur. I also struggled with the portrayal of the antichrist character Lucy. While at points the writing was humorous in many other ways it seemed to be mocking Christian beliefs, in particular that evil exists.
