A Great HIstorical Fiction Read

My daughter devours historical fiction novels, and this one is among her favorites. I read it with her and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The story and characters draw you in from the first few pages, and we both learned a lot about the time period and lighthouse culture, a topic that we'd never really considered before but one that the author makes relevant, interesting, and exciting! I would recommend this book without hesitation to any young (or adult!) reader who is looking for a great historical fiction read! Five stars!
