The Lighthouse Library

Every Saturday morning, Maya cycled along the cliff path to the old lighthouse. It had not guided ships for many years, but its keeper’s cottage had recently been turned into a tiny library.

Inside, shelves covered every wall. There were books about sea creatures, explorers and distant countries. A brass lamp stood on the reading table, casting a warm circle of light across the pages.

Mr Evans, the librarian, always greeted Maya with a smile. “You are just in time,” he said one morning. “A box of new books has arrived.”

Maya carefully opened the box. The first book she lifted was about a girl who travelled across deserts on a camel. The second told the story of a scientist who studied glowing insects. Then Maya spotted a thin, blue book with a silver star on its cover.

“That one has no label,” said Mr Evans. “Perhaps it is waiting for the right reader.”

Maya opened the book and found a hand-drawn map. A dotted line began at the lighthouse and wound towards the cliffs. She looked up excitedly. The library suddenly seemed full of secrets.
