Another good children’s historical fiction book that adults can enjoy, too. 11 yr old Petra’s family lives in a lighthouse on the coast of England during WWII. Pet is a fearful child living during a terrifying time but she has to find her inner courage to deal with the circumstances that are tearing her family apart. Family members acting oddly and keeping secrets plus an unknown saboteur in the small community add an air of mystery. The author does a great job bringing to life the atmosphere of a coastal town and Pet’s love of living by the sea. I enjoyed this perspective of WWII and think this book would be a gentle way to introduce young readers to this time period.
