      A magical island. A dangerous task. A burning secret. Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life. At forty, he lives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As a Case Worker at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth, he spends his days overseeing the well-being of children in government-sanctioned orphanages. When Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely Upper Management he's given a curious and highly classified assignment: travel to Marsyas Island Orphanage, where six dangerous children reside: a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable green blob, a were-Pomeranian, and the Antichrist. Linus must set aside his fears and determine whether or not they’re likely to bring about the end of days. But the children aren’t the only secret the island keeps. Their caretaker is the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, who will do anything to keep his wards safe. As Arthur and Linus grow closer, long-held secrets are exposed, and Linus must make a choice: destroy a home or watch the world burn. An enchanting story, masterfully told, The House in the Cerulean Sea is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place—and realizing that family is yours RUNNING TIME ➼ 8hrs. and 30mins. ©2020 T.J.

      Le storie di Greg questa volta sono raccontate da un narratore d’eccezione, uno dei personaggi più amati e divertenti della serie Diario di una Schiappa: l’intrepido e allegro Rowley Jefferson. Rowley accetta di assumere il ruolo di biografo di Greg, raccontando tutta la storia del suo migliore amico. Ovviamente dalla sua personalissima prospettiva. Fin dalle prime pagine, però, Rowley racconterà più di se stesso che del suo migliore amico… con grande disappunto di Greg!
