Every evening Lampie the lighthouse keeper’s daughter must light a lantern to warn ships away from the rocks. But one stormy night disaster strikes. The lantern goes out, a ship is wrecked and an adventure begins.
In disgrace, Lampie is sent to work as a maid at the Admiral’s Black House, where rumour has it that a monster lurks in the tower. But what she finds there is stranger and more beautiful than any monster. Soon Lampie is drawn into a fairytale adventure in a world of mermaids and pirates, where she must fight with all her might for friendship, freedom and the right to be different.

Very mysterious. A great ending!

In this book, the story is very clear and easy to imagine and the story is a mix if despair and joy. My favourite character was Lampie(Emilia Waterman). I would recommend this to someone else.

I enjoyed this book because it is about a girl named Lampie who gets sent to work in the black house because she forgets to light the lamp and so a boat crashes. It was a fiction story and my favourite character is Lampie. I would recommend this book to people who love adventure.

This book was full of messages of friendship and determination to do what is right; it is also very surprising, as some of the characters are different from how they might be described. I recommend this to ages 7 and up
