What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

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
