And let’s not forget their handsome and charming caretaker Arthur Parnassus. The children here are more magical than most, to say the least: There’s Lucy, aka the Antichrist, Talia, a possibly murderous gnome, a wood sprite a boy who changes into a pomeranian a wyvern who collects buttons and an unidentified blob who dreams of being a bellhop. Then Extremely Upper Management gives him a top-secret job to investigate an orphanage on an island in the Cerulean Sea. Unlike the other caseworkers at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, he truly cares for the magical children he thinks he’s helping. ![]() Linus is a social worker who investigates these orphanages to ensure they’re running well and the children are safe. Magical children are forced into “orphanages,” which are really prisons, in this heartfelt book that takes place in a world somewhat like our own.
