From Kirkus: "A fascinating, splendidly executed peek into both the mundane and the dramatic aspects of lighthouse life."

This book follows a lighthouse keeper as he works hard to keep the lighthouse going. His family is with him and they work through struggles and getting sick. One day, the Coast Guard comes and tells them that they have a new light for the lighthouse that doesn't need people to run it. The keeper and his family pack up their stuff and leave the lighthouse. This could be a good read-out-loud for 1st or 2nd grade to talk about what a lighthouse keeper is and dedication to a job.

1. I would recommend this book to any age.
2. In this book there is a man who works at a lighthouse all alone. This is an older lighthouse so it is not automated so the lighthouse watcher has to put oil in the lighthouse and take care of it so ships don't crash. A ship once crashed and he saved them. Then his wife shows up and they have a kid and live together in the lighthouse. Then in the end the lighthouse becomes functional by themselves and he ends up living on the main land.
3.I would highly recommend this book. It demonstrates how changes happen as well as how much nicer it is when you work with friends around you and many other lessons woven into the story.

I loved this book! This sweet story depicts a lighthouse and a lighthouse keepers life including saving a boat, having a family, etc. I feel that this book showed all sides of humanity including sickness, pregnancy, marriage,etc, and I felt that the simple story was heartfelt and sweet.
