Synopsis of the book: All her life, Louisa has dreamed of finding the rumored “Giant’s Treasure,” a collection of ancient, lost riches said to be hidden on a mountaintop in Scotland, guarded by a fierce monster. It’s a story her father used to tell her, and when he dies and she and her younger sister have to go live with their shiftless, greedy uncle, Louisa is determined to find that treasure. It’s the hope that has kept her defying her uncle’s efforts to marry her off to the highest bidder. After her uncle starts to parade Louisa’s twelve-year-old sister Margaret in front of potential husbands, Louisa realizes she has no time to waste. She disguises herself as a boy and takes off for Scotland. But the road is a harsher place than she’d imagined, and she is relieved to find a friend in the knight, Sir Charles, who goes along with her on her journey. Charles is intrigued by this young woman who claims her name is “Jack” and is set on going to Scotland. He goes along, pretending to believe she is a boy, in order to make sure nothing bad happens to her. As they meet new friends along the road, and as Louisa comes clean about her identity, the pair find themselves falling in love.
✨ My 5th read of 2025 ✨
Lady of Disguise is another super sweet romance and adventure story! As the sixth and last installment of The Dericott Tales series by Melanie Dickerson, this novel is a medieval retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk with a Christian viewpoint, set during the late 14th century in England. Louisa and Sir Charles are lovable characters, as their romance progression in this story is pure and innocent! Within this book, you will discover a delightful romance and a coming-of-age journey of resilience and trust in God. Suitable for older middle school and high school readers.
