Someone mentioned this book being like a hug, and it really is. Not often does a story pleasantly surprise you, create a full range of emotions, and still feel realistic and well-done. Not only was this adorable and charming, but is also includes some of my favorite tropes (magical kids, a rag-tag team, found family). It had undertones of deep, important issues (most notably, racism) that made it feel more grounded, too. I loved it so much!
