This book is about so so so much more than just the story of a man ordered by the government to assess a group of "dangerous" magical children. Important themes stood out such as overcoming prejudice, accepting people for all that they are, being brave for others, and taking strides toward change, even if those steps are small. Best of all, the story shows love in all of its forms, sometimes where you least expect to find it.

From beginning to end, this book is completely and totally heartwarming, wholesome, charming, and lovely. It's perfection. I'm going to reread it often.
