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.… (plus d'informations)

Cozy, cozy, cozy! The book is packed with good feelings - a delightful found family of magical kids, a wonderful house that brings out the protagonist's true self, and a lovely gay romance that feels entirely natural. The ending feels cathartic and heartwarming at the same time; it's exactly what the story needed. Love this book and eagerly awaiting the sequel. ( )

Hacia mucho que un libro no me hacia llorar de lo bonito que es.

Leer sobre Linus y el orfanato de Arthur Parnasus ha sido como un abrazo calentito en medio del invierno. No queria dejar este hogar.

Tiene sus cosas el libro? Claramente. Pero si me puede emocionar de esta manera, se merece las 5 estrellas. ( )

Really a feel good fantasy about differences, and giving children safe loving places to develop. Found myself smiling and sometimes eyerolling when it became repetive in ideas. But the setting and the characters are so well done!
Just today though I'm finding troubling references to the authors inspiration for this story. That it was inspired by Canada's Sixties Scoop. Where they took Native children and put them into orphanages hoping to get them adopted. Klune attempted to make a beautiful fantasy out of that nightmare. I wish I hadn't read that because I loved the book. ( )

What a wonderful, delightful, thoughtful, beautiful story. ( )

E dove sta scritto che i libri per ragazzi hanno meno dignità di tutti gli altri libri?
Il target di riferimento è certamente un target giovane e questo libro non avrà forse la stessa profondità dei grandi capolavori della letteratura, ma è pur sempre un libro godibilissimo anche dai più grandi e veicola messaggi (e non pochi) che ritengo importanti e necessari nella società e nel mondo di oggi.

Ci si affeziona subito e piuttosto profondamente ai personaggi di questa storia, strampalati e singolari quanto basta, ma molto ben caratterizzati.
Attraverso le loro vicissitudini si toccano diversi temi delicati ed attualissimi come quelli dell'accettazione di sè, dell'emarginazione del diverso e del superamento dei pregiudizi.

Salta subito agli occhi con evidenza l'assurdità di certe regole che non fanno altro che ingabbiare le persone e limitarne la felicità, anche per mezzo del diabolico meccanismo del "non lo capisco" quindi "mi fa paura" quindi "lo odio" quindi "lo emargino" (come se si potessero risolvere i problemi solamente nascondendoli e smettendo quindi di vederli).

Durante tutto il libro però l'autore ci coccola continuamente e sembra quasi accarezzarci, con una delicatezza e una tenerezza rare, portando continuamente alla nostra attenzione e facendo risaltare concetti quali l'importanza della fiducia in noi stessi, il potere incredibile della gentilezza e la forza illimitata dei sogni e della speranza.

Non serve essere un premio Nobel per sapere che nessuna società potrebbe mai prosperare costruendo muri e recinti e barricandocisi dietro separata dal resto del mondo; e quello che vale per le società vale anche per i microcosmi e le singole persone (in fondo per superare la paura del buio bisogna provare a spegnere la luce e rimanere nell'oscurità; con la luce accesa la paura del buio non svanirà mai).

Linus Baker, il protagonista, parte dal suo mondo grigio, piovoso e pieno di regole e restrizioni per compiere un viaggio (soprattutto interiore) che lo porterà infine ad approdare ad una realtà nuova e inaspettata (persino sconosciuta), libera da preconcetti e piena di colori.
Questo suo percorso sarà forse un po' telefonato ma è scritto bene, emoziona e commuove.

Insomma mi ha convinto e lo consiglierei a chiunque.
Non sarà letteratura alta, ma si fa fatica a dimenticare questa piacevolissima storia che, nella sua ingenuità, scorre velocemente e ci costringe a riflettere su alcune questioni importanti alle quali spesso, per negligenza o per distrazione, non facciamo più caso. ( )

If ever there was an author to watch out for, [Klune] is definitely that author.

A delightful tale about chosen families, and how to celebrate differences.

A beautiful little gem of both irony and, yes, kindness.
ajouté par Dariah | modifierFantasy & Science Fiction
 
This inclusive fantasy is quite possibly the greatest feel-good story ever to involve the Antichrist.... The House in the Cerulean Sea will delight fans of Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series and any reader looking for a burst of humor and hope.
ajouté par Dariah | modifierShelf Awareness
 
This is a sweet narrative about the value of asking questions and the benefits of giving people (especially children) a chance to be safe, protected, and themselves, regardless of what assumptions one might glean from, say, reading their case file.

“There are mysteries that may never be solved, no matter how hard we try. And if we spend too long trying to solve them, we may miss what’s right in front of us. The world is a weird and wonderful place. Why must we try and explain it all away?” (p. 114)
“I am but paper. Brittle and thin. I am held up to the sun, and it shines right through me. I get written on, and I can never be used again. These scratches are a history. They’re a story. Hey tell things for others s to read, but they only see the words, and not what the words are written upon. I am but paper, and though there are many like me, none are exactly the same. I am parched parchment. I have lines. I have holes. Get me wet, and I melt. Light me on fire, and I burn. Take me in hardened hands, and I crumple. I tear. I am but paper. Brittle and thin.” (p. 133)
