"The Scituate Lighthouse looked over the shoreline south of Boston. During the War of 1812, the lighthouse keeper was Simon, who lived next door with his family. Daughters Rebecca and Abbie polished the windows and fittings and listened to their fathers stories about ships and storms. One day, when the girls are left alone, they see a British warship on the prowl. Scared and unsure what to do if the soldiers come ashore, Rebecca comes up with a radical plan: she will play Yankee Doodle Dandy on her flute, while Abbie pounds the drum. The music, usually played at the beginning of a skirmish, convinces the soldiers that troops are waiting, causing them to turn tail and run. Krenskys fine telling is well matched by Schuetts illustrations, which are especially effective in capturing the colors of the sea and sky." - Booklist
