The Puffin Keeper | Michael Morpurgo
post image
Pickpick

The loveliest story of a young boy rescued from a shipwreck by a lighthouse keeper. Over the following years, he goes to boarding school and moves to other parts of England, but the pull of the lighthouse island always calls him back. When he is able to return, he finds the island just how he remembered it. It‘s geared to 9-12 year olds and is written 1st person, but it‘s a sweet read for adults as well. The illustrations were my favorite part.

I listened to the audio and it was good. I did lose focus at times, but I think I caught the main happenings in the book. Harriet also kept secrets and it took time for her to open up to Matilda. I liked her, though she did seem “gruff” at times. I liked all the characters, really. The women were pretty tough and self-sufficient – or certainly tried/wanted to be as much as they could in their time periods. Cont in comments...

LibraryCin There were a lot of characters, though, and there were times that it took me a bit to figure out which time frame and character‘s POV I was listening to. It did say when the POV changed, but since I know my mind wandered some plus putting away the audio and picking it up later sometimes made it a bit tricky 2mo

Hello Lighthouse | Sophie Blackall
post image

This is the face of someone who has just applied for admission to Sophie Blackall‘s “Workshop for Writers of Picture Books” (published and unpublished) at her farm retreat in upstate NY. What a stupidly amazing opportunity that would be! It‘s beyond competitive (10 spots), so I‘m not expecting miracles.

STILL.

Wish me luck! 🤞🏻

For students that have never seen a lighthouse this book could be a good introduction to the topic and could introduce students to new vocab words.

Book two didn‘t hit the same as book one. Still a good read. I just find myself still thinking about book one. Another Colgan book read for #AuldLangSpine. Author recommended by my #ALSpine partner in reading, @KadaGul 📚📚
Book three is a Christmas read so it‘s on my #ChristmasChapterChasers #XmasChaCha #WinterGames2024 TBR.

And with that #lighthouse in the background on the cover, and featuring heavily in the book, I've also ticked off the last square in #RippedBodiceBingo for 2024.
