In this reprint of a popular children's book, a young girl named Miranda learns about life on a remote island in Maine. When her father, the lighthhouse keeper, is kept away from the island by a storm, Miranda takes the responsibility to keep the light shining through the storm. Based on actual circumstances, the story is beautifully illustrated with watercolor paintings.

Have you heard about the man who marries . . . a corpse? Or what about the magic school where one student in every class is never allowed to leave? Many of these tales go back hundreds of years and to the farthest corners of the earth, but as diverse as they are, they also reveal one important truth: everyone loves a scary story. The authors have dug deeply?from Egypt to Iceland?to find the spookiest stories that are perfect to share around a campfire or at a sleepover.
