A Newbery Honor Book Will Ronnie have to spend Christmas stranded in a lighthouse? Ronnie and his aunt are tending the Tern Rock lighthouse for two December weeks while its keeper takes a much-needed vacation.

But the days go by, and the lighthouse keeper doesn’t return to take them home. “Julia Sauer has again captured in words the delight of a perfect moment.” –Library Journal A beautiful story. –The Christian Science Monitor
