Lighthouse Family

Here is part of the blurb on the back of the book.

"For Frances and her family, living on a lighthouse, the war is both far away and scarily close. There are rumours of submarines in the Pacific. The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbour, taken Singapore and bombed Darwin, so what's to stop them invading New Zealand next? But soon Frances, the only girl on the island, will have more to worry about than the threat of a Japanese invasion."

Once I started reading the book I really enjoyed it and I would recommend this book to year 5 or 6 onwards
