Lighthouse Lizzie

By Deitz

Book Overview

Imagine being twelve years old and just beginning a social life in the city in 1898 when your family suddenly announces that they are moving to a lighthouse on the remote and uncivilized shore of Lake Michigan where your father would take a job as lightkeeper.

"I won't go " cried Elizabeth, and she stamped her foot angrily. "I just won't go " She burst into tears and ran up the stairs into the room she shared with her cousin Emily.

And so begins the adventures of Lighthouse Lizzie, an emotional roller coaster ride as a preteen-age girl tries to adjust to "life on the lakeshore" including being attacked by seagulls, becoming friends with those Indian "savages," discovering the dangers of Lake Michigan, surviving a deadly storm, saving a ship, and all the time keeping the light burning. She had to replace fear and loneliness with bravery, courage, and a strength she never knew she had. This is a story of how having to rely on yourself helps discover who you really are.
