T.J.’s Kindle Notes & Highlights

The House in the Cerulean Sea (Cerulean Chronicles, #1), by T.J. Klune

These are my favorite lines in the book, the ones I’m most proud of. To me, it cuts right down to the beating heart of the story. The idea of being “ordinary” often comes with a negative connotation behind it. Why would we want to be ordinary when we could be extraordinary? Linus doesn’t have magic. It could be said he is the exact opposite of magic. But sometimes, it takes a perfectly ordinary person to do extraordinary things. Out of all he’s witnessed, for me, being told there is magic in the ordinary (and coming from the six year old Antichrist, no less) is where Linus decides he needs to be seen and heard, not only for himself, but for those who need him to be that way.
