Review of 'The House in the Cerulean Sea' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Really nice story about the effects of discrimination and finding where you truly belong.
Linus Baker is a caseworker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, inspecting the orphanages where magical youth are sent to keep people safe from their uncontrolled abilities. He receives a special assignment from "Extremely Upper Management" to check out a secret orphanage on an island.
The story proceeds to examine bias and prejudice and the effects discrimination has on the vulnerable. There's a fantastic found family, a slow building love story, and a lot of funny moments with the kids.
