When 13-year-old Louie and his mother are hired to be keepers of the light at Two Tree Island in the summer of 1903, his year-long adventures with his newfound friends - human as well as feathered - help him move from grief over the loss of his father and teenage uncertainty to maturity and stability.After his father dies, 13-year-old Louie Hollander and his mother must move away from their old home and find a way to make a living.

August can't come quickly enough. But Louie finds that Charlie has changed a lot.
