We’re heading somewhere magical this month… ✨🌊

📖 This Month’s Read:

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune

Linus Baker leads a quiet, rule-following life overseeing magical children in government care until he’s sent to evaluate a mysterious orphanage on a remote island. There, he meets six extraordinary children and their enigmatic caretaker, Arthur Parnassus.

What follows is a warm, whimsical, and deeply moving story about belonging, courage, and choosing love over fear.
