Hope is the thing with feathers. And hope is the thing with fire.
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is the hugely anticipated sequel to TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea, one of the best-loved and best-selling fantasy novels of the past decade.
A magical house. A secret past. A summons that could change everything.
Arthur Parnassus lives a good life, built on the ashes of a bad one. He's the headmaster of a strange orphanage on a distant and peculiar island, and he hopes to soon be the adoptive father to the six magical and so-called dangerous children who live there.
Arthur works hard and loves with his whole heart so none of the children ever feel the neglect and pain that he once felt as an orphan on that very same island so long ago. And he is not alone: joining him is the love of his life, Linus Baker, a former caseworker in the Department in Charge of Magical Youth; Zoe Chapelwhite, the island's sprite; and her girlfriend, Mayor Helen Webb. Together, they will do anything to protect the children.
But when Arthur is summoned to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself at the helm of a fight for the future that his family, and all magical people, deserve.
And when a new magical child hopes to join them on their island home--one who finds power in calling himself monster, a name Arthur worked so hard to protect his children from--Arthur knows they're at a breaking point: their family will either grow stronger than ever or fall apart.
Welcome back to Marsyas Island. This is Arthur's story.
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.

I have been looking forward to savoring this book since the moment I finished book one and as usual the author did not disapoint! T.J. Klune writes magic!
I enjoyed the first book so much, I decided to read the sequel. While it had many good parts, I feel like it was a bit too much. I had a difficult time getting through it. Still love the characters and the premise, just felt that the first book was far better.
Loved part 2 as much as part 1. I recommend this book and this author. Enjoyed every moment of this book.
Absolutely heartwarming series. This book and its prequel are wonderful reads with delightful characters. The author writes captivating stories with important life lessons
Wonderful sturdy, well made stainless steel French press!I only wish there was a bigger version!
