An imaginative and original debut full of compelling characters
About a brave girl who learns to stand on her own two feet
This is a story about the sea. About mysterious creatures and fierce pirates. About the Admiral’s Black House, where they say a monster lives. About Lucie, the lighthouse keeper’s daughter, who climbs the sixty-one steps every evening to light the flame. About a stormy night when everything goes wrong. But above all about being able to do more than you could ever have imagined.
‘It is fairy-tale and believable, gripping and hopeful, with a dash of Andersen and a splash of Monty Python, a rich and magnificent story written in beautiful, almost poetic sentences that children and anyone else with an imagination will enjoy to the full.’ – De Kinderboekhandel
