Best! Lamplighter! Book!
Melonie Luck 10/1/2018 .
I started reading this book on my own, but only a few chapters in I decided I needed to read it aloud to my children (ages 18, 11 & 10). But I just had to keep reading on my own! Just about every chapter ends on a cliffhanger and you just can't put it down! It has everything you could want in a book - mystery, drama, romance, adventure, pirates, and suspense along with the character building qualities you expect to find in a Lamplighter book. I especially love the little nuggets I've gleaned within these pages. For instance when the Huguenot pastor says "Why bemoan a sleepless night? ...better to be in communion with the heavenly Father than in an unconscious state..." Love that! This is one book we're proud to own (we will read it again and again!) and highly recommend to anyone - lovers of books or no! This would make a great movie!
Captivating Story and Detail

I have just finished reading this thoroughly captivating adventure. It is a first, in a long time, that I found the story so fluent in pace and charm, that when I put this book down or rather when I could, one is able to consider the finer points like looking at the detail of a tapestry up close. The author obviously knows her characters and their lives. Such an adventure in story and history. What a read.
AMAZING!

This is one of my most favorite books ever! I mean I love all the lamplighter books I've read, but this one is just awesome. And the plot twists and suspense keep you glued to it for hours. I love a good book and read like crazy, and this one is just so well written. I want to read it over and over again. Florence M. Kingsley and the lamplighter crew, Thank You!
Amazing!!

This one is totally the best of all her books. The way she weaves the chapters together with such suspense, and the final twist at the end, is incredible!! Definitely worth re-reading! Thanks for supplying me (and others) with such GREAT stories, Lamplighter!!!

I couldn't put this book down!!! I purchased this book at a homeschooling convention (also signed up for the book a month subscription) for my sophomore daughter. She read a couple of chapters (she hates reading) and told me how boring it was, so I took the book from her to see such boringness…. NOT A BIT BORING!!!! Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down!!! It was captivating and kept my interest - I'll admit maybe the first couple of chapters (the story building) may have been a bit daunting for my video game crazed daughter, but I will read it to her and my 4th grade daughter during school time and I'm sure she will be changing her tune! I loved this book!
