An Observer Best Book of 2019

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.
