精彩摘录
- "“It may not have been by your hand that he suffered, but it was by your ideals. The ideals of DICOMY. Of a registration. Of the prejudice against them.

- "You told me once you had a vested interest in what I would find. I believed you, then, though I expect it was out of fear more than anything else. I don’t believe you now, because you only want to hear what you think you want to hear. Anything else is unsatisfactory in your eyes. I cannot help that."

用户评论
玛雅，这本好可爱(ɔˆ ³(ˆ⌣ˆc)
好喜欢这本书。虽然情节比较predictable，但是很喜欢写作风格和故事本身，温柔地抚慰人心的一本书。很适合给小朋友读。
互动很可爱 作者也很会讲故事，但可能背景拓展不够，有点idealism
蛮温情的，一开始的设定很吸引我，但是后来经常有大段的借主要人物之口说出来的政治正确的话。。不是我不支持政治正确，而是我更希望那些是让读者自己慢慢体会而不是借人物对话输出出来的观点，会觉得有点过分努力有点刻意了
太可爱了 超暖
4.5
这本书的目标受众应该是Young Readers，所以说情节上超级predictable可以说是意料之中也算无可厚非，说教的成分有点重，有些台词直接由角色说出来讲真感觉略尴尬……但除此之外，真的很有意思啊！可以说是合格的queer story了（当然不仅是因为涉及到gay marriage），这种涉及到gifted children的题材真的很适合写成queer story，而且实话讲这本书在“对未知能力的恐惧”上的处理比HP要高明，虽说还是免不了有点过于理想化……角色塑造其实蛮成功的，作为重度恐娃症患者觉得这里面每一个孩子都好可爱！（Lucy这样的小孩是真实存在的吗请给我一打）读完以后最大的腹诽可能是这个魔法学校校长真的不是邓布利多吗？（。。。
好温情的书！
虽然故事情节有那么点儿俗套+刻意，但毕竟这是本写给小孩子看的YA，所以还是推荐的
意外的挺喜欢的！设定，情节，和最后的gay marriage都好温情。不过作者有点太喜欢说教了。
电子版看完后下单入了实体书。准备以后孩子大一点了当睡前故事讲给她听。
