Jacqulyn York County Libraries hasn't been able to get "The House in the Cerulean Sea" by TJ Klune off her mind since she read it earlier this spring. Luckily, we had the sequel to this cozy contemporary fantasy on the shelves!

Linus Baker is a case worker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He goes to orphanages housing magical orphans to make sure they're in safe environments, per the DICOMY Rules and Regulations. He is selected to visit a special home on the mysterious Marsyas Island and meets six very unusual children, the island's sprite, Zoe, and the children's caretaker, Arthur Parnassus. He's meant to determine if the children are safe in the house and whether the community is safe. What he finds is indeed a safe space.

It is hard not to fall in love with the characters and their quirks. Like any good cozy fantasy, it gives warm and fuzzy feelings throughout the book. Dive into this fantasy in our YCL collection https://bit.ly/4tNajbL. Also available in the Libby app in ebook and eAudio.

“Couldn’t put it down!” Debbie York County Libraries was mesmerized by Kristin Hannah’s “Magic Hour”. Beautifully written, very atmospheric, and set in the extraordinarily lush wilderness of the Olympic National Forest in Washington State. As with all of Kristin Hannah’s novels, it features a compelling story and wonderful characters, while exploring the intriguing concept of “feral children”.

Originally published in 2006, “Magic Hour” was reprinted in 2021 under the title “Wild”. One book, two titles, identical content, and both are available in print in our YCL collection https://bit.ly/4tWakej, with “Magic Hour” also available in audiobook. Looking for an eBook format? Find “Magic Hour” on our Libby app.
