About this listen
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.
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.
Continue the adventure with the second entry in the Cerulean Chronicles, Somewhere Beyond the Sea.

Re-skinned middle grade fiction
An unoriginal plot with poor world building and dialogue that sounds like it was written for a 80's cartoon. This would make a great book for tweens, I feel that age group could overlook the plot holes etc. Some charming characters and pleasant general vibe.
