FEATHERLIGHT by Peter Bunzl
PAPERBACK
Author: Peter Bunzl
In FEATHERLIGHT, Peter Bunzl weaves a magical and atmospheric adventure set on a lonely island where the lighthouse is the only thing standing between sailors and disaster. Deryn lives with her father on Featherstone Island, where his job as lighthouse keeper is to keep the lantern burning and ships safe from the dangerous rocks below.
When her father is suddenly called away and a fierce storm rolls in, Deryn is left alone to tend the lighthouse. Disaster strikes when the lamp runs out of oil just as a fishing boat is struggling in the wild sea. With lives at risk and no one else to turn to, Deryn must find another way to bring light to the darkness.
What makes Featherlight stand out is its blend of quiet bravery and mythic wonder. An unexpected visitor offers hope when all seems lost, and the story gently explores courage, responsibility, and believing in yourself when it matters most.
Perfect for fans of magical adventures and thoughtful storytelling, Featherlight is an enchanting read for confident middle-grade readers. It’s a story about finding light in dark moments - and discovering that guidance can come from the most surprising places.
