Flicker: Light of a Lantern Kindle Edition

by U.B. Light (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 5 ratings
See all formats and editions
Flicker is a lightning bug, the youngest and smallest of the warrior sect of lightning bugs called, 'Lanterns,' who use their inner light called 'Glimmer,' to forge organic armor and weaponry against the dark forces. When the Roach Lord and his army attack, Flicker's light pouch is punctured in battle. In peril, he is rushed to Sanctuary Pond where a zen frog trained in the ways of healing saves Flicker, and goes on to teach Flicker about holding his light, and the true origins of the Roach Lord and the lightning bugs. To face the Roach Lord and the darkness outside of him, Flicker will have to look to the light inside of him, and in doing so, he may find his light is much larger and more intertwined in the world than he could ever have imagined.

Flicker -- A light for my mind and soul!!

Flicker -- A light for my mind and soul!!
A beautifully written and completely original and creative story about the "light" that each of us holds within our beings, demonstrated through the harrowing journey of Flicker as he battles dark forces to discover his own strength and worth. A story for both young and old, I found deep meaning and wisdom in U.B. Light's words as his story illuminated my imagination and stirred my soul. I will definitely read this book again and again as I wish to be re-inspired by its beauty, creativity, and wisdom. I recommend this book for all ages!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book With Meaning
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2020

I read this book through the eyes of an adult, rather than a teen. The story was excellent, fun to follow and even full of some surprises. What I really liked about "Flicker" were the hidden (or even not so hidden) meanings that were scattered throughout the book. For example; "The seed of light and the seed of dark exists within all of us at all times. What we nourish grows." This is not only a true statement, but a thought-provoking one at that. When reading the book, you will find ideas of healing, thoughtfulness and meaning. It's not just a book for kids, but for everyone. U.B. Light has written a story with interesting and unlikely characters that experience growth through good and bad situations. There are some surprising turns of events, and moments of true love, honesty and realization of who I am and who I can be. I enjoyed the book for the story, but even more so for the lessons that are scattered throughout the book. I suggest this for adults and teens alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for teens!
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2020
While at first blush this book might seem like a fantasy for a young/teen audience, it has a metaphorical depth that resonates for adults as well. I approached it as a read outside of my usual fiction "go to" books, and found it refreshingly pleasant, and well written, and with an underlying gentleness and sweetness. And, suddenly, a turn in direction in chapter 25 that I was completely not expecting, and which made the culmination of the book even more beautiful! I highly recommend it.
