A Sweet, Warming Book

A caseworker for magical youth is sent on an extremely unusual mission...

This is one of those books that Hallmark movies are made of, but it manages to not fall into the overly saccharine pit that so many like it do. I could see some calling it a bit preachy or on the nose with its allegories for racism and other forms of bigotry, but I personally did not mind. I think it handled the plot and characters quite well, too.
