In the book “The House in the Cerulean Sea,” a lonely middle aged bureaucrat is sent on a classified trip to inspect an orphanage of highly unusual magical children living on an isolated island. He finds himself being drawn in by these strange children and even more so by their enigmatic and protective headmaster as his objectivity is tested as it’s never been tested before. I loved this book so much even though it’s not my typical genre. It was such a wonderfully crafted story that made me laugh and cry and I didn’t want it to end.
Three words that describe this book: Endearing, fantastical, heartwarming
