About this listen

Listeners who love the fairytale charm of Melanie Dickerson, and the historical richness of Philippa Gregory and Bernard Cornwell, will be drawn into this riveting tale of courage, romance, and hidden treasures. Feel the tension and intrigue as a brave and determined young woman embarks on an adventurous journey to unearth the legendary "Giant's Treasure" in Melanie Dickerson's Lady of Disguise.

Only the hidden treasure will allow Louisa and her sister to gain their freedom.

England, 1388: 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. But what will happen when they reach Scotland? Will they find their independence and the freedom to marry in the form of a buried treasure, or will the monster from Louisa's own past keep the young couple apart?

A delightfully charming reimagining of "Jack and the Beanstalk" from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Dickerson that beautifully interweaves strong faith-based elements with an engaging YA story about a girl determined to save her family. The book's emphasis on resilience, integrity, and the power of faith will inspire and prompt readers to consider life's deeper meanings and purposes, making it an excellent read for those seeking books that encourage contemplation and conversations about values and moral lessons.

Bravery, A Quest, Unexpected Friends, and Clean Romance

Another fantastic book by Melanie Dickerson. I always feel motivated and inspired to be as brave, good, and kind as the main characters. I knew, as with past books, that the content would be safe to listen to out loud around my children. The characters are good role models for them.

As for the book itself, the story held my attention and I couldn’t stop listening. Every book seems to get better than the last. I love how characters from previous novels get woven in to create a richer story.

Louisa tries to find a treasure she’s heard stories of. She wants to free herself and her sister from being forced into marriage. Along the way she makes friends with all sorts of interesting people. One of those is Charles, a knight, who helps her along her journey.

I wasn’t sure what would happen when they got to where the supposed treasure was, and it was a twist that captivated my attention!

I know this will be another book I’ll enjoy listening to more than once.

I loved this retelling of Jack and the beanstalk. so many fun twists. I also always love the way her stories twin together.

I liked the feminine independence she stands up for but also the Biblical submission to her going to be husband.

Centuries Old Love Story

The story was engaging, the time in which it was written, excellent language and the most important touch of the Christian faith.

Never disappoints

Melanie Dickerson’s books are always interesting and I haven’t read one of her books I don’t like. I am waiting for a few years to pass to read them all again!

Just a thought
