Ages 9-12 · Gentle Adventure · ~19 minutes
When the tide pulls back, Anika and Jo cross the causeway to a lighthouse island and find the bell missing the piece that makes it ring. With their guide Ms. Vale, they follow old photographs, a postcard and a museum list to learn why the sound stopped.

How the story begins
The island appeared only when the tide stepped away from the shore.
That lighthouse looks closer than it did yesterday.
Everything looks closer when you have packed a sandwich.
They waited beside the harbor gate, where a board showed the morning crossing times.
Press play to hear the rest.
