Lighthouse Family
Coastal New Zealand 1941-42
Philippa Werry
Scholastic - $18.50
For Frances and her family, living on a remote lighthouse station, World War Two is both far away and scarily close. There are rumours of submarines in the Pacific. The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor, taken Singapore and bombed Darwin … so what’s to stop them invading New Zealand next? But then trouble strikes closer to home – and Frances, the only girl on the island, has more to worry about than the threat of Japanese invasion.
A new title in the popular My New Zealand Story series, Lighthouse Family gives a fascinating insight into the dramas and difficulties of remote island life in the 1940s.
(For ages 10+ years)
