Book Review: Saved at Sea
Saved at Sea is an old-fashioned book with good values which was masterfully written in the 1800s by Mrs. O.F. Walton. It was published much later, by the Lamplighter Rare Collector's Series and is only sold by them.. This 117-page book offers special appeal to boys, but also intrigues girls. It is the story of a lighthouse, standing tall and strong on the small island where Alick Fergusson lives with his grandfather. A neighbor, Jem Millar, lives on the island with his family also. Alick, Jem Millar, and Mr. Fergusson see a ship in distress one late night. They are able to save no lives except one bundle. They discover what the bundle is- a little girl. What happened to her parents? Alick develops a close relationship with the young toddler. But they are all wondering what happened to her parents. Alick soons finds a hymn about being on a Rock {On Christ the sold Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand}. He is confused, because he thought that the lighthouse was like a rock. Yet he finds the true Rock- Jesus Christ. Will Alick and his grandfather cope with the drastic death of someone they knew and loved? When someone mysterious shows up, will Alick recognize him? Find out in Saved at Sea!

Just wanted to let the mods & eds know that they don't need to edit this piece just yet. We'll let y'all know when this piece comes up on the schedule and is ready for it's final polish. However, if anyone is bored in the meantime, feel free to post your thoughts.

Thanks, Elly!

I have PMed Philli.
I've updated it as of today.
Any thoughts?

Also... it will be ready for editing in a few days. Just want to discuss it with Philli and probably Airi.

As I said via PM, the new version is great! Airianna loves it.

Just to clarify, you're welcome to do as much editing and critique-gathering as you want. Just be warned that Airianna and I will ask you to post your piece here again, for a final polish, just before it goes up on the blog. But that needn't stop you from getting opinions on it now.

Right!

updated as of 4/12

Thanks, Elly. Your post will be coming up next thursday (4/21), so we will need to get this edited before long.

Thank you, Airi. It's coming up soon.

Yes, isn't it exciting?

Positive!

There are two full stops here when it only needs one.



This should say 'Alick soon finds a hymn about being on a Rock.

I love it, it tells you enough but not too much to spoil the plot. Nice one Elly.

Alrighty Miss Elly, tomorrow you may post this
