Publisher's Summary
An enchanting story, masterfully told, The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place – and realizing that family could be yours.
He expected nothing. But they gave him everything . . .
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 they 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 . . .
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune is an uplifting, heart-warming fantasy tale that’s become a New York Times, USA Today and Washington Post bestseller.

fantastic
OMG...
I don't usually pickup books from the best sellers list or even the most talked abrbooks.... They tend to disappoint. Hence the delay in picking up this one. How I wish I had read it earlier. It stands true to all the praise it got.
I read/heard his Under the Whispering Doors first. And fell in love with the protagonist in seconds. Kept picturing Sheldon Cooper as Wallace.
With this one... Couldn't stop myself Kevin from Home Alone 1 as Luci. I fell in head over heels love with him within minutes. As a mother of a 10 year old and aunt to another 6 years old boy... I kinda felt completely at ease with his threats and exclaimations.
Arthur and Linus made the task of caring for all the children effortless. These kids ...are charming and loving and full of joy .. they make you smile, laugh and gasp with equal fervor.... There were times when my heart broke, hearing their stories.... If I could I would have hugged them... EVERY child deserves unconditional love...
The book is filled with quotes about fear, and compassion and understanding.... And it strings the cords of the heart with such an ease. The message is simple... LOVE. And it's a message that all should imbibe

Good read
Good plot and some interesting characters. Not very interesting in terms of storytelling and complexity. Give it a try.

Warm. Funny. Unexpected
I stumbled upon this audiobook out of fluke and thoroughly enjoyed everything. The story, the character, the innocence, the warmth, and the family. Looking forward to read something from TJ Klune again soon.

Best 12 hrs spent
The premise of the story is not new. Differences always generate hatred and fear and bureaucracy is a bane, change takes time and someone somewhere has to take a stand.
No, it’s the treatment, the endearing characters, the imagery, the language, the dialogues that make it a marvellous book. I loved every minute of it.
Also a word for Mr. Daniel Henning’s prowess as a narrator. He is marvellous and I don’t know how he managed 9 to 12 distinct voices. Apart from the regular voice I loved his voice as Chauncey, Sal and Helen.
Do listen to the audiobook. It’s fantastic.

Fantastic!!! (in every sense of the word)
This was an absolute wonderful read! I am not a fantasy reader at all!!! and only picked this up as my book club is reading it. But I am so glad I did. The story, the characters - simply stunning! Extra kudos to Daniel Henning for reading it and making the story come alive with his voices!
