Lampie cover

A lighthouse keeper's daughter faces challenges after a shipwreck, leading her into a magical adventure in Lampie, where she fights for friendship and freedom.

In Lampie, the story unfolds around a young girl named Lampie, who is the daughter of a lighthouse keeper. Every evening, she dutifully lights the lantern to guide ships safely through treacherous waters. However, one fateful stormy night, calamity strikes when the lantern extinguishes, leading to a shipwreck. This incident sets Lampie on a path filled with unexpected challenges and adventures.

Sent away in disgrace to work as a maid at the mysterious Admiral's Black House, Lampie hears whispers of a lurking monster in the tower. As she navigates her new life, she discovers that the reality of the tower is far more enchanting than the rumors suggest. Here, she encounters a world teeming with magic, mermaids, and pirates, which pulls her into a captivating fairytale.

Throughout her journey, Lampie must summon her courage to fight for her friendships, her freedom, and the right to embrace her uniqueness. Lampie is a tale of resilience, self-discovery, and the importance of standing out in a world that often pressures conformity. It beautifully weaves themes of adventure and acceptance, making it a story that resonates with readers of all ages.
