THE STORM

Solitary is the lighthouse life, but it is one that Pandora the cat has chosen. Rescued herself at a young age, she is determined to provide that service for others. When Seabold, a seafaring dog, is storm-tossed onto the lighthouse beach, a long convalescence brings new friendships and an opportunity to return the favor yet again. In this Lighthouse Family book, Cynthia Rylant has added to her repertoire of appealing characters. Narrator Mark Nelson brings a warmth and genuineness that Rylant would admire. As Pandora, he is gentle and kind; as Seabold, interested and understanding; and as the new arrivals, eager and cheerful. A.R. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE/JULY 05]
