Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life. At forty, he lives in a
tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As a Case Worker
at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth, he spends his days
overseeing the well-being of children in government-sanctioned
orphanages. When Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely Upper
Management he's given a curious and highly classified assignment:
travel to Marsyas Island Orphanage, where six dangerous children
reside: a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable green blob,
a were-Pomeranian, and the Antichrist. Linus must set aside his
fears and determine whether or not they're likely to bring about
the end of days. But the children aren't the only secret the island
keeps. Their caretaker is the charming and enigmatic Arthur
Parnassus, who will do anything to keep his wards safe. As Arthur
and Linus grow closer, long-held secrets are exposed, and Linus
must make a choice: destroy a home or watch the world burn. An
enchanting story, masterfully told, The House in the Cerulean Sea
is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family
in an unexpected place - and realizing that family is yours.

A beautifully weaved, wholesome story of acceptance, being different, and finding home. My favourite read for 2020 and definitely one that I wholeheartedly recommend.
