A.Y. Daniels is on page 49 of 352 of Candle Island: A very somber, very colorful (literally; Lucretia and her mom are artists, so everything being described with a color is a thing), and very chill book. I'm enjoying it! Can't wait to see how Lucretia gets along with Murdock and Bastian, and if she ever is welcomed by the Islanders. Candle Island by Lauren Wolk progress:	Error rating book.
