Summary

Life with just the sea can be lonely. Just ask Pandora or Seabold. They've lived most of their lives with the sea, and they're quite used to being alone. Or they were. But one extraordinary day, the same sea that brought Pandora and Seabold together gave them the ingredients for an adventure that neither of them had considered before -- an adventure called "family." Written by Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant in her exceptionally soothing prose, and featuring the tender yet striking illustrations of Preston McDaniels, The Lighthouse Family: The Stormis a thoughtful and reassuring reminder of what it means to be part of a family, one destined to become part of yourfamily for years to come.
