Recommend for teens+. Pages: P. 156 'A vagina being penetrated by a penis.' P. 263 use of pot/marijuana. PP. 274, 276 'deft little bitch'. P. 363 '...shove demerits up his ass.' The Anti-Christ. Just some items to be aware of that may not be suitable for a younger age. Positive queer representation. Belonging, family, nature vs nurture, inclusion, acceptance.

The House in the Cerulean Sea is a cozy fantasy story centered around magical children that have otherwise been outcast and ostracized by society. When Linus goes to the island they inhabit as a by-the-book caseworker investigating the situation, he finds friendship, love, parenthood, and a home that he never anticipated finding. This book instills a whimsical sense of adventure and belonging, I really enjoyed it and think it would be great for a wholesome read on the beach. This was my first read by the author, but I will be checking out more of his work after reading this book!

This is my 2nd TJ Klune and I'm a fan. The writing and characters always pull me in. A hard act to follow. Beautiful, deep storytelling, multidimensional. Read this and feel your heart grow three sizes.
