**The Book:** *The House in Cerulean Sea* (2018), by T.J. Klune. 394 pages

Linus Baker is a by-the-book case worker in the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He's tasked with determining whether six dangerous magical children are likely to bring about the end of the world.

Arthur Parnassus is the master of the orphanage. He would do anything to keep the children safe, even if it means the world will burn. And his secrets will come to light.

*The House in the Cerulean Sea* is an enchanting love story, masterfully told, about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place―and realizing that family is yours.

Gail Carriger, New York Times bestselling author of *Soulless* said: "*1984* meets *The Umbrella Academy* with a pinch of Douglas Adams thrown in. Touching, tender, and truly delightful, *The House in the Cerulean Sea* is an utterly absorbing story of tolerance, found family, and defeating bureaucracy."

**Who?** This is a fun book club event that men and women from the neighborhood potluck list are invited to, along with everybody else who is interested.

**Fun Book Club:** This will be the 39th monthly meeting of this book club. We had so much fun at the all of the meetings so far, with wonderful, fascinating discussions with great neighbors and new friends. If you like books or interesting discussions... or simply want to have fun meeting new people, I highly recommend RSVP-ing for this event.
