About This Book

A frail boy who moves with his parents to an isolated lighthouse recovers and becomes fascinated by its machinery and routines. He befriends a taciturn keeper whose gruff exterior gradually softens under the child's curiosity and care. Together they learn the lamp's workings, endure fog and stormy nights, and face a perilous emergency that tests their courage and skill. Help from the shore and the strengthening bond between child and keeper lead to healing, community support, and happier days.
