Queen B’s Decree: I think it’s really been cemented for me: I love the found family trope. Linus Baker is a caseworker that checks in on magical children’s orphanages, when he’s assigned a special case. Linus lets down his guard and his heart just can’t help but fall in love with all the children in the home…and maybe the caretaker too.

The House in the Cerulean Sea is about belonging, finding a family, and realizing that sometimes rules are meant to be broken. The more I read from TJ Klune, the more I adore him as an author. His books always make my heart feel so full and happy.
A tale full of whimsy and heart, The House in the Cerulean Sea will stick with me for a long time.
