review:
'The House in the Cerulean Sea' by T.J. Klune is a fantasy novel about magical children and a bureaucrat sent to find out more about them. It was the book club pick for March for my online book club.

Linus Baker lives in the gray city and works as a case worker at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. It's a demeaning existence, until one day he gets called before the bosses and given an assignment that will change his life forever. He finds himself out of his comfort zone and questioning his drab life.

I liked this book quite a lot. It's got lots of quotable prose. The characters are pretty memorable. There are things that felt a bit over-stereotyped, like the faceless bosses or the extreme contrast between The life Linus has in the city and on the island.
