The Michigan light house 1871 and the girls grandfather has died and they want to keep the light going. This is the story of how when the mainland was burning she was able to
help her mother. The twelve year old Jessie remembers parts of her uncle Jim who had passed away but not all the details. Locks and light houses were very important to the Great Lakes shipping industry. Love the details of how the lighthouse came to be where they were and how they got there.
As mainland is burning the breeze and dark ash are heading to the light house and the inspector has brought supplies and told them to work hard.
It's almost the end of the shipping season and they hope to keep the light burning strong and the bell ringing.
Love talk of the prisms as i had many in my eyeglasses as a young child. Mesmerizing.. Such intricate details on how to take care of the light during the cold icy winter storm. Never realized there were so many tools and rules of the trade. Now a museum open in warmer weather for tours.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )
