Tim and his friends help Captain McFee save the lighthouse from rough and dangerous men who want the light out so they can prey on unsuspecting ships. Tim and Charlotte guard the lighthouse as Ginger rows for the Coast Guard. Will he make it in time?
My child was never that enthused about these books, I have to admit, but I have always loved Edward Ardizzone's illustrations, and I have really enjoyed reading his stories in the Tim series. They have a wonderful nostalgic quality to them, a quirky sense of humor and a real "ripping-yarns" feel to them.
beautiful book

I first read Edward Ardizzoni books as a child forty plus years ago. I now read them to my kidergarten class of five year olds.....we are all rivetted to the spot together. These books have lost none of their charm or suspense factor, NO MATTER THAT COMPUTERES, IPODS, DVD'S ETC ETC WERE NOT EVEN DREAMT OF WHEN THEY WERE WRITTEN, THIS IS TIMELESS CHILDRENS LITERATURE AT ITS BEST.

Exciting story, appealing to girls AND boys

As a mom of boys, I find that more literature appeals to girls...this story has a boy as the protagonist and lots of action. My grade school boys liked it as much as my girls did.
