About this ebook
A pitch-perfect and exquisitely illustrated storybook with all the earmarks of a classic explores the transformative friendship between a salty lighthouse keeper and a heroic mouse.
A bighearted and masterfully illustrated maritime adventure from a New York Times bestselling author evokes the magic of earning a place in another’s heart—and finding friendship, home, and purpose against the odds. Miles off a rugged coast, in the middle of nothing and nowhere, stands a lighthouse, a beacon for boats. Inside lives a solitary keeper, a hero to sailors . . . and to the little mouse who lives in the lighthouse, too, and believes they can be friends and helpmates. Every day, the mouse shadows his role model, waiting to prove himself. But the keeper sees only a pest—until one dark day when the winds shift and monstrous clouds roll in. Poignant and alive with dramatic sea-swept landscapes at world’s end, this homage to the power of hope, to the joys of true companionship, and to pluck and determination as the antidote to loneliness and longing will charm and reassure readers of all ages, especially those who love stories about human and animal alliances.
