Reviews"A warm hug of a book about a Grinch of a man who dies and a ferryman, who helps the dead in their journey onwards. Under the Whispering Door is a kind book, full of faith in the goodness of people, full of kind people showing how compassion is a strength. It broke my heart with its unflinching understanding that grief never goes away, never empties, only settles into the room of your soul like a strange souvenir. And then it healed me in the next breath." --Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth "Tenderness, wit, and skillful worldbuilding elevate this delightful tale. Fans of queer fantasy won''t want to miss this." -- Publishers Weekly "TJ Klune is a master storyteller." -- The Mary Sue "TJ Klune is doing powerful work that inspires and impresses. He is a gift to our troubled times, and his novels are a radiant treat to all who discover them." -- Locus Praise for The House in The Cerulean Sea A NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, and WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER!

It''s a beautiful book." --Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author " 1984 meets The Umbrella Academy with a pinch of Douglas Adams thrown in.

One of Publishers Weekly 's "Most Anticipated Books of Spring 2020" One of Book Riot 's "20 Must-Read Feel-Good Fantasies" " The House in The Cerulean Sea is a modern fairy tale about learning your true nature and what you love and will protect. It's a beautiful book." --Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author " 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."--Gail Carriger, New York Times bestselling author of Soulless "Sweet, comforting, and kind, this book is very close to perfect. The House in the Cerulean Sea is a work of classic children's literature written for adults and children alike, with the perspective and delicacy of the modern day. I cannot recommend it highly enough." --Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of Every Heart a Doorway "Quirk and charm give way to a serious exploration of the dangers of complacency in this delightful, thought-provoking Orwellian fantasy from Klune.... This tale of found family is hopeful to its core. Readers will revel in Klune's wit and ingenuity." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Lambda Literary Award-winning author Klune ( The Art of Breathing , 2019, etc.) has a knack for creating endearing characters, and readers will grow to love Arthur and the orphans alongside Linus... fans of quirky fantasy will eat it up. A breezy and fun contemporary fantasy." -- Kirkus "This is a sweet narrative about the value of asking questions and the benefits of giving people (especially children) a chance to be safe, protected, and themselves, regardless of what assumptions one might glean from, say, reading their case file." -- Booklist "This inclusive fantasy is quite possibly the greatest feel-good story ever to involve the Antichrist.... The House in the Cerulean Sea will delight fans of Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series and any reader looking for a burst of humor and hope." -- Shelf Awareness "A delightful tale about chosen families, and how to celebrate differences." -- Library Journal "If ever there was an author to watch out for, [Klune] is definitely that author." -- Culturess Daily, "There is so much to love in Under the Whispering Door , but what I love the most is its compassion for the little things--a touch, a glance, a precious piece of dialogue--healing me, telling me that for all the strangenesses I hold, I am valued, valid--and maybe even worthy of love." --Ryka Aoki, author of Light from Uncommon Stars "A warm hug of a book about a Grinch of a man who dies and a ferryman, who helps the dead in their journey onwards. Under the Whispering Door is a kind book, full of faith in the goodness of people, full of kind people showing how compassion is a strength. It broke my heart with its unflinching understanding that grief never goes away, never empties, only settles into the room of your soul like a strange souvenir. And then it healed me in the next breath." --Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth "Tenderness, wit, and skillful worldbuilding elevate this delightful tale. Fans of queer fantasy won''t want to miss this." -- Publishers Weekly "TJ Klune is a master storyteller." -- The Mary Sue "TJ Klune is doing powerful work that inspires and impresses.
