Keep the Faith (Clearwater Crossing, #6)
by Laura Peyton Roberts"The kidney! The kidney!" Rosa cried excitedly. "They've got it! Oh, Miguel... hurry!" Leaving Leah Rosenthal crying in the middle of his front walkway, he ran back into his house. He didn't think about the fact that he'd been in the middle of breaking up with her. Under the circumstances, he barely thought of her at all. The only thing on his mind was getting to his mother. He burst through the front door and found her sitting at the dinette, tears of joy sliding down her cheeks. Her gray-streaked hair was pulled back into its usual neat bun, but the wadded tissue in her shaking hands betrayed her emotions. "Oh, Miguel!" she said. "Our prayers have been answered. I'm so happy."
Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie
by Peter Roop Connie RoopSchool Library Journal: Based on a true story of an 1856 storm off the coast of Maine, Abbie's tale is one of endurance and bravery. When her father, the lighthouse keeper, sails off for supplies, he leaves Abbie in charge of lighting the oil lamps in the twin towers of their lighthouse and making sure that they don't go out. When a huge storm hits, preventing her father from returning for four weeks, Abbie keeps those lamps burning, getting up several times each night to climb the towers to check them, scraping ice from the windows so the lights can be seen at sea. In the course of the storm, she also rescues her chickens from a huge wave, thus saving the family's only source of food. The Roops allow the natural drama of Abbie's story to emerge in simple sentences that are sometimes cut up awkwardly, but for the most part they are clear and compelling. An author's note gives the interesting historical basis of the story, but the tale stands alone as an exciting account of a young girl's courage. The vivid watercolor paintings are highly effective in detailing Abbie's job as well as creating atmosphere. All in all, one of the best historical beginning-to-reads--a refreshing cold blast of salty real life. ISBN: 0476144547
