letters from the lighthouse by emma carroll

We weren't supposed to be going to the pictures that night. War and hate has the ability to divide communities but Letters from the Lighthouse shows how much can be achieved when people work together.Ī beautifully written story about bravery, compassion, understanding, and having the strength to fight for what you believe in. The thing that touched me most within this wonderful novel was the opportunity to hear the stories behind all those effected by war along with the refugees and the impact they had on the locals. Being an evacuee she has an understanding of the prejudice that can come from lack of understanding. Emma Carroll has a wonderful takent for bringing historic events to life for today’s young readers and with Letters from the Lighthouse continues to create an enthralling, thrilling read, whilst introducing situations and characters that are still relevant in our world today. After discovering a strangely coded message that she’s certain has something to do with Sukie’s disappearance, Olive embarks on a dangerous adventure as she’s determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. Reeling from the death of their father and the disappearance of their sister Sukie, Olive and her brother are evacuated to the coast of Devon. It’s 1941 and the Second World War rages on longer than anyone anticipated. Her stories continue to delight and move me, and Letters from the Lighthouse does not disappoint at all.
