"Daniel Henning is a great narrator for this quirky and theatrical audiobook.... Henning revels in a cornucopia of characters, diving into nuanced voices and colorful moments with accents and growls, tone shifts and whispers.... This is definitely a title for those who enjoy fantasy stories replete with gnomes and witches and all in between." (AudioFile Magazine)
Lambda Literary Award-winning author TJ Klune's breakout contemporary fantasy
Linus Baker is a by-the-book case worker in the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He's tasked with determining whether six dangerous magical children are likely to bring about the end of the world.
Arthur Parnassus is the master of the orphanage. He would do anything to keep the children safe, even if it means the world will burn. And his secrets will come to light.
The House in the Cerulean Sea is an enchanting love story, masterfully told, about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place - and realizing that family is yours.

Daniel Henning was a completely unknown narrator to me. He really brought this book to life. His voices for Arthur and Linus were perfect!
Beautiful story

I can not recommend this novel and audiobook more highly.
A wonderfully story of hope and found family.

Unfortunately, narration is so much a part of my enjoyment and Daniel's performance here is not my cup of tea, Daniel reads the story to us as if he were reading a children's book to his 4 year old. Crystal clear annunciation but overly emphasized phrasing that does not make sense in context. For outer dialogue, I should hear a natural-sounding conversation between characters as if I were a fly on the wall listening in. I don't get that from this narrator.

This book is a feel good that will leave you at times in tears, laughing hysterically in others and through it all you will root for the main characters wholeheartedly. I have listened to this four times all the way through and I’m going to begin again soon.
The performance was absolutely stunning and they could not have picked anyone more perfect. The voice actors rich inflections were perfect and truly made the book come to life.
I recommend this to anyone, young and old.

When this got near the end, I realized that I did not want it to end. I immediately acquired another. Sadly, there were no other books by TJ Klune narrated by Daniel Henning, but I have hopes for the future.
Absolutely fantastic, with zero negatives. I can give it my wholehearted recommendations.
My favorite book so far on every count
