ALN Monthly Book Club: The House in the Cerulean Sea (Old Town)

For our May Monthly Book Club, we will be reading T.J. Klune's "The House in the Cerulean Sea!"

We will be hosting this event IN PERSON, outdoors, at Presidio Park in Old Town! Attendees must be vaccinated; vaccination cards WILL be checked. In addition, we recommend (but do not require) that attendees wear masks and maintain social distance.

We typically meet at the picnic tables in the shade at the end of the loop made by Cosoy Way. Please see the embedded map below for more details.

Content warning: Child abuse, reference to the antichrist, racism, minor instances of violence. Details not given here to avoid spoilers. Contact an organizer if you have concerns about the book's content.

Linus Baker works as a caseworker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. His quiet life is interrupted when he is assigned to investigate an isolated orphanage housing six reportedly strange and dangerous magical children.

We hope to see you there!
