I was intrigued right away with this hyperbolic world of grayness turned to color at the cerulean sea. Linus was a rule follower who had his eyes opened when they were splashed with a little bit of color, and I love him for it.
There is so much sincerity in this book, andthe found family aspect is just so sweet. I just felt so happy reading it the whole time.
I think TJ Klune did a good job creating a story that felt fun and exciting, even if the plot wasn't a complex thing. This is not really and adventurous book, but a portrait of hope and found family. I love all the characters so much.
Graphic: Child abuse
Moderate: Death of parent and Death
