TJ KLUNE: A Conversation about The House in the Cerulean Sea [Ep 269]

from Brave New Teaching: A Podcast for High School and Middle School Teachers · host Marie Morris & Amanda Cardenas, Secondary ELA Teachers

In our final episode of Camp BNT, we got to sit down with none other than TJ Klune, author of The House in the Cerulean Sea—and let’s just say, it was everything we hoped for and more! We laughed, fangirled (a lot), and had the most meaningful conversation about TJ’s journey as a neurodivergent, queer kid from rural Oregon, how teachers shaped his life, and why authentic, hopeful queer representation in books matters so much. This episode is packed with heart, inspiration, and reminders of why the stories we share—and the teachers who share them—make such a big impact.Resources:The House in the Cerulean Sea: Bookshop | Amazon Shop more of TJ's bookTJ's websiteSHOW NOTES: https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode269"Send us a message - please include your contact information so we can chat soon!"Head to bravenewteaching.com/waitlist to become a beta tester for BNT University!Support the show📚 BNT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & RESOURCES 👩‍💻Join Happy Hour!Curriculum RehabDown with the Reading QuizShop the BNT Resource LibraryConnect with us on Instagram @bravenewteachingSubscribe to our YouTube Channel
