Description
In 1703 when a storm brings down his father's boat, eleven-year-old Digory Beale sets off alone, walking across the wilds of Cornwall. He must get word of his father's fate--and his own. For if his father is dead, Digory can never go home again.

Digory's journey is plagued with problems until a fascinating stranger, Henry Winstanley, takes him on as an apprentice. A fun-loving daredevil, inventor, and gadgeteer, Henry lives in a fun house filled with robots, a roller coaster, and a dragon who snores!

As a monster storm--part hurricane, part cyclone, and part tornado--threatens Cornwall's coast, Digory finds himself on a mission with his fearless master to rescue a battered lighthouse on the Eddystone Reef. Will Digory be brave enough to face his worst nightmare?
