Why read it?
1 author picked The Wizards of Once as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While this book is a middle-grade fantasy, I love it so much.
Two enemy clans working together to save their world from a threat bigger than either of them is great, but when you also make it so that each representative is an outcast, well, it’s that much better.

From Ember's list on books with the found family motif.
