Amazon.com Review

“Thomas creates word pictures in which I felt the frigid winter even though I read this book in the peak of summer. The intrigue and suspense provided twists I was not expecting.”

Amazon.com Review

“Laura Thomas weaves a wonderful boy-tale in The Candle Maker… The story runs true to life with its themes of bullying, rumours that downright frighten children, kindness, bravery, and the ultimate triumph of good over bad.”
