About the Book
In the winter of 1856, a storm delays the lighthouse keeper's return to an island off the coast of Maine, and his daughter Abbie must keep the lights burning by herself. Full-color illustrations.Book Synopsis
Abbie was afraid.
She had never had to keep the lights burning by herself. But many lives depended on the lighthouse, and Papa was depending on Abbie. This is the exciting true story of Abbie Burgess, who in 1856 single-handedly kept the lighthouse lamps lit during a tremendous storm off the coast of Maine.
"The Roops have done an excellent job of putting a fascinating tale into simple language. . . . Hanson's lovely watercolors evoke the mood and are far and away superior to what appears in many easy-to-reads."--starred, Booklist
Review Quotes
"Based on a true story of an 1856 storm off the coast of Maine, Abbie's tale is one of endurance and bravery...One of the best historical beginning-to-reads--a refreshing cold blast of salty real life."
