Although mute, Delia quickly becomes part of the "family" at a most unusual orphanage, where classes include Fairy Tale Studies, a field trip may result in a monster sighting, and classmates include a hedgehog and a boy whose head is an onion.

I enjoyed this very much. It is sweet and quaint. I admit I rather spent the entire book waiting for something to pop out and eat an orphan or someone to do magic (my mind could not cope with all of the sweetness, I guess).
I think this book would be adored by the odd child who finds Series of Unfortunate Events too scary and Winnie the Pooh too babyish.
