For the fan of the kind of fantasy that involves thoughtfully constructed worlds and any other young readers undaunted by books that weigh more than housebricks, ''Lamplighter'' comes highly recommended. Despite its length it has a smart and tidy pace with plenty of action and a tremendously engaging central character. It also raises a great number of very contemporary issues. Super stuff.
My thanks to the nice people at David Fickling for sending the book. We also have a review of [[Monster Blood Tattoo 3: Factotum by D M Cornish|book three]].
Younger children might enjoy [[:Category:Garth Nix|Garth Nix's]] [[The Fall (The Seventh Tower) by Garth Nix|Seventh Tower]] series. Older children should just jump straight into [[The Children of Hurin by J R R Tolkien|Tolkien]].
