A New York Times Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller that will restore your faith in the power of chosen family.
Imagine stepping into a story where bureaucracy meets magic, where loneliness transforms into belonging, and where the most dangerous thing might just be opening your heart. TJ Klune’s beloved contemporary fantasy follows Linus Baker, a by-the-book caseworker who’s spent forty years playing it safe—until an extraordinary assignment changes everything.
Dispatched to a remote island orphanage, Linus expects to file his report and return to his quiet life. Instead, he discovers six magical children who are nothing like their classified files suggest: a garden gnome with attitude, a sprite who hoards buttons, a wyvern with a penchant for records, an unidentifiable blob named Theodore, a were-Pomeranian, and yes—the Antichrist, who happens to be rather polite. Watching over them all is Arthur Parnassus, whose fierce devotion to his wards will challenge everything Linus believes about rules, safety, and home.
Winner of the 2021 Alex Award and the RUSA Reading List Fantasy Award, this enchanting tale blends humor and heart with profound questions about acceptance and belonging. Klune crafts a world where found families triumph, where being different is celebrated, and where love—in all its forms—becomes the most powerful magic of all.
Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy with substance, readers seeking LGBTQ+ representation, and anyone who believes that family is what you make it. Pour yourself something warm, settle into your favorite reading nook, and prepare to fall completely under this story’s spell.
