Linus Baker is totally content with his boring, routine life working as a caseworker for magical youth. That is, until his newest assignment plops him right in the middle of his very own fairytale. Read the first of the Cerulean Chronicles, a series focused on the power of found family that's tied neatly together with a queer love story.
HPB Staff ReviewThis book made my emotions feel like they were being hugged. I loved every character and I want to adopt every one of these kids. Also this book is extremely funny from beginning to end. I truly can not love this book more than I already do. I just finished it and I already want to read it again.
HPB Staff ReviewThe House on the Cerulean Sea captures what it means be unique in a world that hates differences. People in this world shun individuals who don't fit their worldview. Despite this, these six, orphaned, magical kids embrace what makes them different. This book promotes the idea that no matter your orientation, size, linage, or unique ability, all people have feelings and dreams and should be treated with respect. I fell in love with this book and highly recommend it.
HPB Staff ReviewWhat a beautiful way to convey such an important lesson about what is important in life and how we treat people. This is a must read.
INCREDIBLE. Made me feel all the feelings. Have already gifted this book to multiple friends and family members.
