Lizzie and her sister are forced to work in a huge manor and on a
steamship to support their family. They are caught up in several
mysteries: The squire's oldest son cannot leave the attic An old
typewriter seems to move time and space A passenger hides in a
secret room A beautiful visitor is plotting against them And Lizzie
discovers that she has a strange, new ability. She and her sister
must discover the secrets of The Lamplighter's Special before their
enemy catches up with them. "DeLuca writes in an enjoyable
faux-Victorian voice, capturing the 'prim and proper' spirit of the
times while simultaneously subtly critiquing conventions (for
example, the Marchpane's treatment of Mana, a black governess).
Mostly, the style gives the novel both a lightness of touch and,
when the voice is at its strongest, an authenticity."
