The House in the Cerulean Sea (Cerulean Chronicles, #1)

by T.J. Klune

Hate is loud, but I think you’ll learn it’s because it’s only a few people shouting, desperate to be heard.

It’s the little things, I expect. Little treasures we find without knowing their origin. And they come when we least expect them. It’s beautiful, when you think about it.

Sometimes, he thought to himself in a house in a cerulean sea, you were able to choose the life you wanted. And if you were of the lucky sort, sometimes that life chose you back.
