On Tuesday, May 14th at 11:30 – 12:30 p.m., the Homeschool Book Club for 7 – 9 year olds will be discussing Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie
by Peter and Connie Roop.
This is the exciting true story of Abbie Burgess, who in 1856 single-handedly kept the lighthouse lamps lit during a tremendous storm off the coast of Maine. Abbie was afraid and she had never had to keep the lights burning by herself. But many lives depended on the lighthouse, and Papa was depending on her.
“Abbie’s tale is one of endurance and bravery…One of the best historical beginning-to-reads–a refreshing cold blast of salty real life.”
We will meet in the children’s room. Be sure to bring your literature packet if you did it!
Homeschool students are welcome to sign up with Mrs. Fig. by emailing her at jfigurelli@killingworthlibrary.org. This book group is for readers ages 7 – 9.
