- The haunted lighthouse / by Gorian, Shana,author.(CARDINAL)792305;
When a mysterious beam of light appears during a thunderstorm off the coast of Maine with no logical explanation, three friends go in search of answers and find themselves unraveling an otherworldly tale. Noah's been known to leap before he looks, but fortunately, his sister's wits are usually sharp enough to extract the group from the sticky situations in which he lands them. On a visit to a coastal harbor town in Maine, the world is Noah's oyster--pun intended--as long as the stormy weather doesn't ruin the fun. Summer break has just begun, and with seven days of freedom, how much trouble can he and his best friend and his sister really find? Plenty, as it turns out. Because when the kids go snooping around an old, decommissioned lighthouse, its haunting secrets begin to reveal themselves, and the kids are about to stumble upon a hundred-year-old mystery that still haunts the nearby fishing village.Ages 8-12.- Subjects: Fiction.; Lighthouse keepers' spouses; Lighthouses;

- The lighthouse keeper's wife / by O'Sullivan, Juneauthor.;
A lighthouse keeper's wife struggles to protect her family at the edge of the known world. Life is hard in Ireland in 1867. Eliza Carthy moves with her lighthouse-keeper husband James and sons Peter and Joseph to the remote island of Skellig Michael. Eliza is proud of her husband and his promotion to Principal Keeper and is eager to support him in his work and fulfil her duty as a good wife and mother. But life in this extreme location is challenging. The island is 54 acres of jagged rock, jutting out of the Atlantic, with no way of communicating from or leaving the island. With no access to a boat, keepers must rely on a tender boat to deliver news, supplies and act as their conduit to life on the mainland. The island is exposed to extreme changes of weather and the landscape is fraught with danger. When Assistant Keeper Edmund and his wife Ruth arrive, Eliza hopes for respite. But her new neighbours are not what she'd expected. They blow hot and cold, seemingly wanting Eliza and her family to leave Skellig Michael, and making her question her sanity. Will Eliza be able to keep her family safe at the edge of the world? And can her marriage survive all that the island throws at them?- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Thrillers (Fiction); Psychological fiction.; Family life; Lighthouses; Lighthouses; Spouses; Man-woman relationships; Challenges; Isolation; Neighbors; Islands; Safety; Marriage problems; Harsh weather;
