The Lighthouse Keeper's Catastrophe
The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch has long been a favourite of my children's. This second adventure did not disappoint them either. Mr and Mrs Grinling have to face the ultimate catastrophe when he is shut out of the lighthouse. Storm clouds are gathering. How will the light be lit before a ship is wrecked (or Hamish the cat starves)? With true heroism the problem is solved but not before there have been gasps of horror and dismay. A very rewarding and satisfying story ... whether for children to listen to and talk about or for reading independently. Highly recommended.
