By Melanie Crowder
Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2018. Fiction.

Don't you love bedtime stories? They provide whimsy to sleep routines and bonding to families. For Griffin, however, they are the only things he has left of his mother, and the only clues he has to help save his father. Everything he thought he knew, from who his parents are to the purpose of the lighthouse he helps take care of, turn out to be completely different - but maybe he has had the knowledge all along. This book is great for young readers, especially those interested in mystery and adventure.
