A girl who is somehow destined to become part of the strange, ancient legend of the Daughters of Stone…. A girl who freezes with fear at the enemy planes ripping through the skies overhead. This is the story of a girl who is small, afraid and unnoticed. But now the clifftops are a terrifying battleground, and her family is torn apart. Growing up in a lighthouse, twelve-year-old Pet’s world has been one of storms, secret tunnels and stories about sea monsters.

The story is also a celebration of the bonds of family showing despite what we might face, family matters most.Įngland is at war. Our Castle by the Sea is set during the second world war, evoking all the danger experienced by those who lived through it. Happy New Year! Here is my first review for 2019 of the highly-anticipated second novel by Lucy Strange.
