About the Book

"The Climbing Boy is destined to become a Christmas classic. Mark Lichterman skillfully delivers this Dickensian-style tale set in 1800s London. The orphaned Zachariah will grip at your heart, and every reader will want this boy for their own--to nurture and to protect, but mostly to love. As much as you will be smitten by Zachariah, you will come to loathe William Johnson, his drunken master."

"One cannot help but reach out as you read and try to help this poor little soul. If you think A Christmas Carol and The Little Match Girl are poignant stories, you must read this one."

Illegally sold into the London chimney-sweeping trade as a chimney sweep's apprentice - a Climbing Boy - for the pittance of back rent owed to the landlord of the shack he had lived in with his widowed - and now deceased - mother, Zachariah has become little more than a slave to his owner, an abusive inebriate.

Then on the day before Christmas in 1843, the very day of the same mystical Christmas Eve on which Ebenezer Scrooge received his three ghostly visitors, the face of a kind woman strikes a deep chord that rekindles the memory of the person missing from his dream, and gives Zachariah hope for the future.

"Written in a style that reminds one of Charles Dickens, and of the same time period, Mark Lichterman's story of The Climbing Boy is already a classic and should receive wide readership for its compelling drama, its impeccable depiction of the time and place, and its connection to our mythology about children and Christmas."

"The Climbing Boy is destined to become a Christmas classic. Mark Lichterman skillfully delivers this Dickensian-style tale that takes place in 1800's London. The orphaned Zachariah will grip at your heart and every reader will want this boy for their own--to nurture and to protect, but mostly to love. As much as you will be smitten by Zachariah, you will come to loathe William Johnson, his drunken master."

Mark Lichterman is also the author of the Becoming series.
