Description:

The House in the Cerulean Sea is the #1 New York Times bestselling contemporary fantasy from Lambda Literary Award-winning author TJ Klune — warm, witty, and utterly enchanting. Linus Baker is a solitary, by-the-book caseworker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, living a quiet life with his devious cat and old records. Then he receives a classified assignment: travel to a remote island orphanage and assess six unusually dangerous children — among them a gnome, a wyvern, a were-Pomeranian, and the Antichrist. Their devoted caretaker, the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, is harbouring secrets of his own. As Linus spends time with this extraordinary found family, he discovers what he never knew he was missing. A joyful, tender love story about tolerance, belonging, and the courage to challenge unjust systems. Recommended for adult readers.
