The House in the Cerulean Sea

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Kluneย is a heartwarming and whimsical tale about acceptance, found family, and embracing the extraordinary.

Linus Baker is a rigid, by-the-book caseworker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. When heโ€™s assigned to investigate an orphanage on a remote island, home to six dangerous yet misunderstood magical children, he expects a routine inspection. Instead, he finds himself drawn into their world, and falling for their enigmatic caretaker, Arthur Parnassus.

This book radiates warmth and charm while addressing deeper themes of prejudice and systemic oppression. While some elements may have been inspired by real-life historical events, it ultimately serves as a hopeful and uplifting story about love, change, and seeing beyond fear.

If youโ€™re looking for a feel-good fantasy with diverse representation and an enchanting story, The House in the Cerulean Seaย is an absolute delight.
