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. There, Linus must somehow determine if they could bring on the end of days. But their guardian, charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, will do anything to protect his wards. As Arthur and Linus grow ever closer, Linus must choose between duty and 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.

En veldig fin historie om en saksbehandler, lederen for et høyst usedvanlig barnehjem og bitte-litt om antikrist. Dette er andre boka jeg har lest av T.J Klune og det er tydelig gjennom disse bøkene på at forfatteren er god på å skape en slags koselig og trygg stemning gjennom størsteparten av handlingene. Følelsene som oppstår mellom Linus og Arthur er subtile og naturlige gjennom handlingen. En veldig fin og stemningsfylt bok. Anbefales.
