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:<ul><li>The House in the Cerulean Sea: <a href='https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-house-in-the-cerulean-sea-klune-tj/9881851?ean=9781250217318&next=t'>Bookshop</a> | <a href='https://www.amazon.com/House-Cerulean-Sea-TJ-Klune/dp/1250217318/ref=sr_1_1?crid=11IWMQXFFBXF1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PJ4k6fUmDRUCttowZEX4AA9Vz8s-jIYOj6EAo5Wj6jBUINWSmHPDRilaYMDxDGAbHLuMzrx6JU6bRT_5ok8ej8W6kLH12IP6tkAKlzIjLfkS4QFtjACx5OsieWKjeGGsUlQLwhVHGDlUAiftJTV1mN8ZqZWijnWW-7SJ0JParX8SpsE7AcXCLzk9YpLV6xCepCxfisnJrM1c0ESmaZCyLU_i69EtZ8tfMiiwY0RRREc.bmzll2Dvn2I6bRCjYIZNMqgf8pMWs4WTtEBVwyI4wNQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+house+in+the+cerulean+sea&qid=1753805592&sprefix=the+house+in+the+c%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-1'>Amazon</a> </li><li><a href='https://www.tjklunebooks.com/books'>Shop more of TJ's book</a></li><li><a href='https://www.tjklunebooks.com/'>TJ's website</a></li></ul>SHOW NOTES: <a href='https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode269'>https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode269</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2131293/open_sms">"Send us a message - please include your contact information so we can chat soon!"</a>Get your FREE Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs gateway lesson: <a href="http://shop.bravenewteaching.com/cloudy">shop.bravenewteaching.com/cloudy</a><a href="https://www.curriculumrehab.com/course">Check out Curriculum Rehab here!</a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2131293/supporters/new">Support the show</a>📚 BNT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & RESOURCES 👩‍💻 <ul> <li><a href='https://shop.bravenewteaching.com/happyhour'>Join Happy Hour!</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.curriculumrehab.com/course'>Curriculum Rehab</a></li> <li><a href='https://shop.bravenewteaching.com/masterclass'>Down with the Reading Quiz</a></li> <li><a href='https://shop.bravenewteaching.com/'>Shop the BNT Resource Library</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/bravenewteaching/'>Connect with us on Instagram @bravenewteaching</a></li> <li>Subscribe to our <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@TheCaffeinatedClassroom'>YouTube Channel</a> </li> </ul>
