Lovely story very entertaining for the children! My son and daughter enjoyed the story. They wanted to know more about lighthouses after reading this story.
The most ordinary people make the best 'heroes'. In the case of Abbie Burgess, lifelong lighthouse keeper, she responded to an emergency that lasted weeks with courage, dedication and strength. Lost in history, this remarkable young lady is remembered by Peter and Connie Roop in the Graphic Universe book, Lighthouse Keeper.In 1856, Manticus Rock, Maine is the home of the Burgess family. The father, is head lighthouse keeper but must travel to the mainland for groceries and supplies. A storm blows up and his oldest daughter Abbie must take care of the family and lighthouse. This true story is inspiring and as the History Kid Heroes series does well, remarks young people who do extraordinary things.Well written and illustrated, this is a book that schools should have in their libraries.
Please be aware this is a comic book. There is no indication of this in the description. It would take no more than 10 minutes, at most, to read. This was not what I was looking for at all. was very gracious about the return.
