 I can’t think of any concrete words at the moment but this book felt like a literal trip to the beach - fresh, rewarding and I wish there was more to Linus & Arthur’s stories as we got to know the children of the island. It’s jam packed with humor, reality, and how to combat the ugliness of people not liking others just because of what they look like or may represent. Prejudice is an ugly concept and House in the Cerulean Sea took that and ran with it in a way that I didn’t see coming. Heart wrenching to the core. This book will stay with me for a long time.
