„The House in the Cerulean Sea“ by T.J.Klune
A magical island. A dangerous task. A burning secret.
Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life. At forty, helives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As a Case Workerat the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth, he spends his days overseeing thewell-being of children in government-sanctioned orphanages.
When Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely UpperManagement he’s given a curious and highly classified assignment: travel toMarsyas Island Orphanage, where six dangerous children reside: a gnome, asprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable green blob, a were-Pomeranian, and theAntichrist. Linus must set aside his fears and determine whether or not they’relikely to bring about the end of days.
But the children aren’t the only secret the islandkeeps. Their caretaker is the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, who willdo anything to keep his wards safe. As Arthur and Linus grow closer, long-heldsecrets are exposed, and Linus must make a choice: destroy a home or watch theworld burn.
An enchanting story, masterfully told, The House inthe Cerulean Sea is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikelyfamily in an unexpected place—and realizing that family is yours.
