This Deluxe Edition of TJ Klune's beloved modern classic arrives in a beautiful new paperback with aqua blue sprayed edges and exclusive extras — a worthy addition to any shelf.

Linus Baker is a by-the-book caseworker at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth, living a quiet life with his cat and his records. When Extremely Upper Management sends him on a classified assignment to a remote island orphanage, he expects routine. What he finds instead are six extraordinary children — a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, a were-Pomeranian, an unidentifiable green blob, and the Antichrist — and a caretaker named Arthur Parnassus who will do anything to protect them.

What begins as an inspection becomes something far more: a slow-burning love story, a found family, and a question about what it truly means to belong.

Warm, whimsical, and quietly radical, The House in the Cerulean Sea is the cozy fantasy the world didn't know it needed.
