Description - The Lighthouse at Pelican Rock by Stephen Hart
After 12-year-old Megan Evans almost dies, she is packed off to the tiny, remote coastal village of Pelican Rock to recover. Sure she is going to be bored in a place which doesn't even have the internet, she discovers there is much more to Pelican Rock that she expected. Are the pelicans really magic? What is the secret of the ruined lighthouse? Has she found the place where she belongs? And, perhaps, not just a place... This first novel by talented new writer Stephen Hart is a magical, moving, memorable story that will grip readers from the start. AGES: 9 to 12 AUTHOR: Stephen Hart was born in Singapore to English parents, and emigrated from England with his family when he was seven. At one stage, Stephen was an archaeologist and travelled the world to investigate its past a strange place that we can never really know but can visit in our imaginations. He no longer works in archaeology but his fascination with the unknowable remains. He loves lighthouses and other magical places and thinks reality is something that happens to other people. He likes all wombats, most dogs, some cats, and thinks pelicans are very special. Stephen lives with his family in a magical part of Sydney but won't tell anyone where that is. They have to find it for themselves! The Lighthouse at Pelican Rock is Stephen's first children's book.
