Magical!
Truly magical tale of opening one's eyes to the ingrained racism and hatred in society. Learning to stand up to tyrany and fight for the rights of those who are oppressed. To embrace change and expand boundaries and the control of your monotonous life and reveal your deepest desires can come true.
Loved this book as a parent of a non-traditional teen. Praying that eyes will be opened and the world will be more accepting towards people who are different.
This book is the love child of Harry Potter, a Series of Unfortunate Events and Nanny McPhee.

This is like other type of books where a group of people, because of fear, start to discriminate others just because of who they are. But instead of adults, here we have magical children.
The first portion enraptured me. Here we have DICOMY, a government body that helps to ensure that all the magical children are well cared for in orphanages, though we'll later find out that these orphanages are not that. It's a really effective introduction to Linus Baker as a person, and the general discrimination that these kids face, though Linus was too naive to see it. Things started to get even more interesting when Linus is sent to an island where an orphanage stands. That's where we'll meet the rest of the children that this book is about. And while I expected the interest curve to go up exponentially, it started going down, and fast. I got bored by the repetitiveness, the man Linus is for constantly thinking that a child means harm. I didn't quite expect that, for I could see the man Linus was deep inside when he was first introduced. It took a very, very long while before his eyes began to open. By then, I was almost ready to dump this book. But things started to get better towards the end. Although it was touching, the changes that Linus went through, and the bond he had forged with the children and the man who cared for them, it didn't touch me enough for me to see this book as impressionable.
