Average rating
It was Benjamin Postlethwaite’s job all his long life to make sure the light shone brightly high up in the lighthouse on Puffin Island. Not once in all his years as the lighthouse keeper had he ever let his light go out. But sometimes even the brightest light on a lighthouse cannot save a ship.
This is a story of a life-changing friendship, a lost puffin, and a lonely artist. It’s the story of an entire lifetime, and how one event can change a life forever. From masterful storyteller, Michael Morpurgo, and world-class illustrator, Benji Davies, comes a magical new story. This truly beautiful tale will enchant readers of all ages.

This is the story about an old man called Benjamin, saves a ship called the Pelican struggling through the strongest waves in the tough storm near his island. Using his lighthouse, he takes his small boat to save all 32 people on the boat. The 5 year old who was saved all the way back in 1926 comes back to visit him after growing up.

This was a beautiful book and it made me feel happy but sad too. It’s about a lighthouse keeper who saves people in a boat in a storm. One boy remembers it forever and so goes to live there when he is older. He is known as the Puffin Keeper because he looks after the Puffins, not the lighthouse.

I enjoyed this read although at some point it becomes a bit sad. I liked that people made friendships and I liked when the puffin keeper saved the boy, but that was part of the sad bit. I would recommend it to my friends!
