The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

adventurous emotional inspiring

4.75

I saw a few reviews mention that The House in the Cerulean Sea is the embodiment of a warm hug, and that rang true for me. It included lovable characters
who grow and change, a dreamy backdrop that you “wish you were there”, and magic. I fell in love with all of the children - I can’t say I ever have felt this protective over fictional characters. I found myself rooting for Linus along his journey of realization, wanting him to find his courage to leave behind the mundane and become an advocate for these kids. This book is an ode to embracing being different and pushing against bigotry and for justice and progress -a fantastical story with applications in the real world.
