What is Het weeshuis in de azuurblauwe zee about?

Known from BookTok! 'A masterful book, simply perfect' - V.E. Schwab

Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life and is a caseworker at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He is given the unusual assignment of investigating whether six magically gifted but risky young people, who live in an orphanage on a small island, might pose too great a danger to society.

The orphanage is home to six young people: a peculiar, colourful bunch made up of Talia (a female gnome), Theodore (a winged little dragon), Phee (a forest sprite), Chauncey (a green, jellyfish-like creature), Sal (a boy who undergoes a miraculous change when he is frightened) and Lucy (a six-year-old Antichrist).

Arthur Parnassus is the master of the orphanage, and he will do whatever it takes to prevent its closure, even if it means revealing his own secret. Linus goes to live on the island for a month. As he gradually lets go of his prejudices and builds a bond not only with the young people but also with Arthur, he faces a dilemma: should he follow the official rules or his heart?
