konglish Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Just wanted to recommend Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie by Peter and Connie Roop. It is a true story about a teenage girl in 1856 who had to keep the lighthouse going while her father (the lighthouse keeper) was kept away by a month long storm. I read it with my kids as a picture book, but it would also be very engaging for an early reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Tick Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks, I put it on hold, along with the reading rainbow episode. I love my library! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konglish Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 The kids were so enthused that we visited a lighthouse that has been turned into a museum today. I hope you enjoy the book as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
