I wanted to love THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA so bad but it felt like it was really lacking conflict and stakes and I was hesitant going into SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE SEA expecting more of the same but I’m glad to say that this series has grown up, while fully maintaining the quirkiness, comfort and charm of its predecessor. WOW, this book was written for TODAY and its themes and messages are as timely as ever. I really enjoyed it and am very much looking forward to the next in the series. TJ Klune, I love you and I love that you’re out here writing the stories our kids deserve about hope, love and resilience.
