This book is so good. It builds upon what was one of my favorite books I’ve had the pleasure of reading. The way Arthur and the kids really come into dad and children is so heartwarming. It also highlights important topics. The government and those in charge are so fearful and don’t know anything about magical beings. They act of fear and it has terrible consequences

I love these characters and this world so much. I keep highlighting quotes, funny dialogue, smart quips, and such wholesome moments. This fictional group of people somehow make me feel such joy and a sense of attachment and love for everyone on the island

The whole birthday scene from the breakfast to the picture frame was too sweet and wholesome!! 😭😭

Very interesting themes. This book seems to advocating for change in their broader world and expanding upon the small environment of just their house and island. Sticking up for magical beings and hoping for change
