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. Most Anticipated from Goodreads , Paste , Polygon , BookBub , and more.

An excellent sequel to “The House in the Cerulean Sea”.

The first book in this series, “The House in the Cerulean Sea”, is one of my favorite novels. I wrote in my review of it that “reading this book is like being wrapped in a soft warm blanket, suffused with love.” This sequel is just as endearing as the first book. It took me some time to get back into the characters from the original, but after a while I was fully engaged and committed in their struggle to be accepted and recognized for their individual identities. There is an ongoing battle with bigotry that is not dissimilar to present day political discourse about those who are in some way “other than”; this is an engaging fight that TJ Klune does a good job of articulating and dealing with. I enjoyed this book on multiple levels; it is another winner!

This book and the first are some of the two best books. I have read in my entire life and I read hundreds of books every year and that is a fact this book brought me to tears brought me to anger brought me to laughing out loud. The stories within this book and the former are so relatable to everyone on some level, and they bring magic, yes magic to our lives. Because there is magic in the ordinary. I so wish I could live in this world that the author has created. Phenomenal, phenomenal. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

Don’t you hate when you get an ARC of a book you’re excited for, start reading it, LOVE it, and realize it’s only an excerpt? Yep that’s what happened to me. Thankfully this wonderful novel had just been released so I bought the full version and loved it even more. The story is the continuation of Authur and Linus story and their six kids they care for. Just like the first book this book tells a love story of acceptance and respect for those who may be different in such a way it leaves your heart warmed. The characters were so amazing and I feel in love with all the kids all over again. It has the right amount of fantasy and humor that will leave this book on my mind for quite a while. Thank you to Netgalley and to the publishers for allowing me to read this advanced copy

From the first page I was transported into a familiar world with old friends I'd come to know and love. Then I met new people who were equally fantastic. Of course there was adversity, and a few new characters who work hard to make my favorites miserable. Through the book I was able to see transformations (figurative and literal) and watch even more growth than in the first book. If anything, I love the house and its inhabitants even more than I did at the end of Book 1. If you've read House on the Cerulean Sea you know the people I'm talking about. If you haven't, you should. The characters are well worth revisiting and TJ Klune does a fantastic job bringing them back to life. In case it's not obvious, I LOVE this book!

Thank you TJ Klune

I have read every one of TJ Klune’s books. He is by far my favorite author. At the end of every book, I feel a deep sense of gratitude that he has chosen to share his incredible talent with the world. My son, now 18, has, with my encouragement, started reading his books. After JK Rowling showed herself to be the incredibly bigoted woman she is, I wanted to make sure my son found an author who is truly the anti-JK Rowling. Thank you, TJ Klune, for being you, for bringing so much love, humor, and hope to this world. You are loved.

A courageous, loving, and also hilarious book

OMG! Somewhere Beyond the Sea. If you loved House on the Cerulean Sea, you have to read this book. (If you haven't read House on the Cerulean Sea, read that first.) The children! So funny, so brave, so smart, and so loving. Arthur and Linus and their amazing family, along with Zoe and Helen and people from the village, face challenges and threats, but I promise you a beautifully happy ending. Have your tissues ready.
