The Boy of Mount Rhigi (C. M. Sedgwick)
$17.95$20.00
Besides fishing in the beautiful wooded hills of Mount Rhigi, Connecticut, Harry Davis and Clapham Dunn have little in common as far as their upbringing. Harry can hardly relate to the brutal existence that Clapham endures every day – which has molded his character and produced torment, frustration, and fear in his heart.
Emotionally and spiritually bankrupt, Clapham, like a magnet, is drawn to the love and acceptance of the Davises. But one sad day he is seized and threatened to do that which is unthinkable. Long, miserable, dark days follow. But though sorrow endures for the night, the healing balm of truth brings joy in the morning.

Reader Reviews of The Boy of Mount Rhigi
|
A great story that shows the struggle of choosing to do the right thing!
First, I wouldn’t have guessed this story took place in the US from the title. Mount Rhigi is in the northeastern United States. Who knew? Not me. The one boy reminds me of Charles Ogilvie, one of my all-time favorite books from Lamplighter. The book encourages us to do the right thing regardless of our circumstances. Each boy struggles with their decisions. Which one overcomes. I won’t spoil the story with an answer here!
I haven’t finished it yet. I like the way the author describes the two boys and how they became friends. It didn’t make any difference to them if one was rich or poor they helped each other out.
This book is one of my favorite Lamplighter books! It’s one that’s hard to put down. It shows that there is no sin so great that the cross of Christ is not greater! |
