I waited a long time to read this because the story sounded like a tearjerker&what a tearjerker it is.But it is so beautifully written,a joy to read each sentence, the characters are all wonderfully developed, deep&rich. The plot draws you in,the ending is satisfying. Themes are love, parenthood, loss,betrayal,war,forgiveness. What a wonderful book but oh so sad, so incredibly sad.

I would not use this book in my classroom. I did not like it and was not entertained by it.

This is a nonfiction book as it teaches the readers about lightships which are floating beacons for ships to follow. It was not very entertaining to me while reading it.

“The other ships sail safely, because the lightship marks the way, through fog and night, past rocks and shoals, past reefs and wrecks, past danger. Other ships sail home safe... because the lightship holds her place.“

I would use the book “Lightship“ to expose students to a vessel or jobs that they may not have known about before. Personally, I had never heard of a lightship before. I could use this book to discuss the importance of fulfilling roles and upholding responsibilities, especially when others are depending on you. Furthermore, discussing the importance of roles working together as a team to complete a job.

“Lightship“ is a book that discusses what a lightship is and the importance of its role. It is told by given direct explanations in a rhythmic manner. Not necessarily a rhyming book, but I found myself reading it with some rhythm. There are lots of illustrations and maps that support the text's information. It provides great detail about the role of lightships, what makes up the vessel, how is on board, and what they do to help the ship run

“She does not sail from port to port. She does not carry passengers or mail or packages. She holds to one spot as other ships sail by. She waits.“

This book would be great for younger students when introducing them to nonfiction. Because of that story-telling aspect of the way it is set up helps with engagement and the illustrations themselves are interesting and gather the attention of the reader.
