A cosy, enchanting story about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place – and realizing that family could be yours. The House in the Cerulean Sea is an uplifting, heart-warming fantasy from TJ Klune.
‘I loved it. It is like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket. Simply perfect’ – V. E. Schwab, author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
Linus Baker leads a quiet life. At forty, he has a tiny house with a devious cat and his beloved records for company. And at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, he’s spent many dull years monitoring their orphanages.
Then one day, Linus is summoned by Extremely Upper Management and given a highly classified assignment. He must travel to an orphanage where six dangerous children reside – including the Antichrist.
At the orphanage, Linus must somehow determine if these children could bring about the end of days. But their guardian, the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, will do anything to protect his wards. And, as Arthur and Linus grow ever closer, Linus must choose: his duty, or his dreams . . .
A New York Times, USA Today and Washington Post bestseller.

Een echt 'feel good' boek dat ik in één stuk wou uitluisteren. "I wist that i was there."

A very wholesome book that tells the story of Linus, who has gotten used to his solidary formal life and warms up to the idea that that might not be his future. It’s a heartfelt story about someone finding his family, perfect to read when you just need to feel all warm and cozy inside.

Vooral het begin en einde vond ik zalig. Het leest vlot. Je voelt ook dat het een boek voor tieners is. Mooi verhaal!
