"On a family vacation by the sea, Seamus Keen goes for a walk with his dog, Gimli, to investigate a strange lighthouse that he has seen before in a painting in Principal Grishelmutt's office. But Seamus doesn't return from his walk. Gimli returns to the cottage alone, his leash dangling untended behind. Seamus has vanished somewhere in the fog. So begins The Lighthouse Keeper, the final instalment of The Portal in the Portable trilogy. Andrew Keen and his cousins, Audrey and Cate, are drawn into a perilous journey to find Seamus. They are joined by Claire Maruyama, Marlin Brando and other old friends as they seek to understand a mysterious secret society known as The People of the Iris and and stop a terrible spell which threatens to destroy all worlds in the imagined universe. The Lighthouse Keeper is about aging pirates, being in the shadow of an older sibling, fifteen story rainbow hovercrafts, mass exodus in the face of slow moving apocalyptic storms, finding your role in a chaotic world, forgiving the unforgiveable, and facing your darkest fears with eyes filled with imagination and love."--
