- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was so so so so so so so good
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Poor lost Aurora! While viewing the Northern Lights, Aurora, the sea turtle, becomes lost and drifts onto the shoreline and hides in his shell near the Lighthouse. Lila and Whistler, the two mice children that live in the Lighthouse find Aurora. With the help of their parents, Seabold the dog and Pandora the cat, the lighthouse children devise a plan to safely return Aurora to the sea. As I read this book, I felt like I was tucked between the Lighthouse and the sea… right with characters: Aurora, Lila, Whistler, Seabold and Pandora! Enjoy reading this book!
