A magical house. A secret past. A summons that could change everything. Somewhere Beyond the Sea is the number one New York Times bestselling sequel to TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea.
Winner of the 2024 Goodreads Choice Award for Fantasy
Arthur Parnassus has built a good life on the ashes of a bad one. He’s headmaster at an orphanage for magical children, on a peculiar island, assisted by love-of-his-life Linus Baker. And together, they’ll do anything to protect their extraordinary and powerful charges.
However, when Arthur is forced to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself fighting for those under his care. It’s also a fight for the better future that all magical people deserve. Then when a new magical child joins their island home, Arthur knows they’ve reached breaking point. The child finds power in calling himself a monster, a name Arthur has tried so hard to banish to protect his children. Challenged from within and without, their volatile family might grow stronger. Or everything Arthur loves could fall apart.
This is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.

A book that I would recommend every single child to read. The first one is AMAIZING, pure genius, and even though I have not enjoyed this one so wildly, it still makes me feel good, warm and hopeful. Completely worth it! Thank you, TJ, for providing us with such insightful stories that lighten our hearths in times of despair, that push us to be brave in the face of fear, and that encourages us to be better, to do better, even when we feel overwhelmed by the stupidity and ignorance of humanity.
