Candle Man, Book One: The Society of Unrelenting Vigilance By Glenn Dakin
Juvenile, 2009
Theo lives a sheltered protected life- believing that he has a horrible illness. His guardian keeps him inside except for a brief walk in the cematary once a year. All this changes when two robbers break into the mansion and Theo finds out about the legend of the Candle Man and some surprising things about himself that lead to his escaping his guardian and trying to figure out the competing wishes of the two secret societies of London- the Society of Unrelenting Vigilance and the Society of Good Works. For the age group of 9-12 the book does a good job of moving quickly through the plot and yet not making you feel as if you are totally lost by all of the details. The writing is simple at times, but still flows just fine. Grade: B
