First 5 star of the year!
I was at first a bit doubtful when I learned about a new book on this series I viewed as a stand alone, especially learning it was not about what happened before. But while following the new adventures we also learned about Arthur history.
I laughed, I was pissed, I cried, all in one with this book where Arthur, Linus and the kids have to face once again institutionalised hate and ignorance.
Ps : don't skip the acknowledgements, they are as great as the rest of the book.
