A very lovely, simple book of the kind of world I wish we all lived in.  The kind of world where one man can make a difference and where those who are different and rejected find the love and acceptance they need

I’ve heard so much praise for this author, and I even own a few books of another series of his that I haven’t read yet, and the praise and hype were 100% warranted. Beautiful story, beautiful characters, diversity and love and hope. I’m immediately starting the next book, which I will probably devour.

I, like so many others, adored this book! Literally laughed out loud multiple times and brought a few tears too. The characters are loveable and quirky with a world that feels relatable. Reading about a grown man being absolutely roasted by a 6 year old is priceless.

The House in the Cerulean Sea is a heartwarming fantasy about found family. It chronicles Linus's life-changing visit to an orphanage, where he transforms from a boring desk jockey to someone who sees children for who they truly are. Written with hints of humor and full of charming children, it's a story about love and acceptance and breaking down barriers.
