On Thursday, May 8, at 7:00 p.m., the DeKalb Public Library’s General Book Club will discuss The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune.
A magical island. A dangerous task. A burning secret. Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life. At forty, he lives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As a Case Worker at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, he spends his days overseeing the well-being of children in government-sanctioned orphanages. When Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely Upper Management he’s given a curious and highly classified assignment: travel to Marsyas Island Orphanage, where six dangerous children reside: a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable green blob, a were-Pomeranian, and the Antichrist. Linus must set aside his fears and determine whether or not they’re likely to bring about the end of days. But the children aren’t the only secret the island keeps.
Copies of the book and audiobook will be available in the library one month before the program. E-book and e-audiobook are available with the boundless by Baker & Taylor app and your library card.
This book club is intended for adults. No registration is required. It will be held in the Nancy D. Castle Collaboration Studio.
