This is a beautiful and magical book which I adored. It well deserves being on the Carnegie shortlist. The writing is similar to that of Hilary McKay - if you love her style you will love this too. A story of love and loss, of finding yourself and your true talents - as well as magical realism. I can’t recommend this enough.

Een van mijn favoriete jeugdboeken. Fijne mix van mysterie, fantasie, avontuur en vriendschap.

Schitterend en ontroerend verhaal. Je leeft ontzettend mee met Lampje. Ze gaat bijna als een klein zusje voelen. Ook is de boodschap van het verhaal mooi; als je iemand verantwoordelijkheid geeft en laat doen waar hij of zij goed in is, kunnen ze zoveel meer dan je had verwacht!
What a wonderfull, gorgeous story. I now understand why my kids like this one even more than The Neverending story.
Read this one,no matter your age!

I read the original Dutch version of this story called Lampje.
As far as I can tell it is published in English under two different names, last year as Lampie and the Children of the Sea , and this year it will be published as Of Salt and Shore
If you are interested in slightly surreal middle grade fantasy stories, I would recommend this. It is about mermaids, and is written in a very enchanting and atmospheric way. It is difficult to describe the style, but it felt different than most other stories for this age group I have read.
I would definitely recommend it if the summary seems interesting to you.
