The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune is the magical, cozy book that you never knew you needed. And you do. You need it.
When meek and mild-mannered Linus Baker is sent on a secret assignment to the house on the sea, he plans to be his meticulous self: he’ll record his observations in his distant, objective style. No extras. No whimsy. No fluff. But those plans fly out the window as soon as he meets the island’s inhabitants, all children with special powers and their protectors, an island sprite named Zoe and a man of immeasurable talents named Arthur.
Linus and Arthur form a special bond, but each has a secret that could burn down all of their hopes. In getting to know the children, Linus grows beyond his former timidity and becomes an adventurous, impassioned man who’s willing to fight for what he believes.
