Product Information

Touching, tender, and truly delightful, The House in the Cerulean Sea is an utterly absorbing story of tolerance, found family, and defeating bureaucracy.

Sal, the oldest, is a quiet, reserved, and shy boy who’s seen and experienced more evils than any kid of his age should and still holds out hope for better. ETA 2 I truly hope if TJ reads this, he understand why what he did was so problematic, and educates himself.after i'd already picked this up and read most of it, i learned through good samaritans in my comments that this was to some degree inspired by the Sixties Scoop.

In Canada, beginning in the 1950s and continuing through the 1980s, indigenous children were taken from their homes and families and placed into government-sanctioned facilities, such as residential schools. Why, yes there is that too, absolutely: a tender, touching love story about how finding a true soulmate can make you the best version of yourself and give you courage to fight for what you care about. What I mean by this was that for all the neat or quirky ideas in the book there was little to no exploration of them.

Love and kindness virtually radiate from Klune’s words and ever so tenderly spiral around you like a soft, warm blanket. No, the greatest heart-warming, most delightful and brilliant piece of storytelling ever told across all formats.
