I don't recommend this book to kids who like to read big books. However, kids who like to read short books might like this book.

A Candle in the Dark

Review by raph0

I loved this book. It made me think that I went back in time. This book is for all ages. I loved the story of Clara. Maxie is my favourite character. I recommend this book for everyone. It is an amazing book to read.
