A Stone's Throw: Two Islands Beyond the Peninsula

by Joanne Gucwa

Overview

To most people, Wisconsin's Door County doesn't go beyond the peninsula. What awaits the Maloney family as they take a short ferry ride to explore Washington Island and another, even shorter ferry ride to Rock Island's lighthouse and loop trail?

Fish boils are a colorful Door County tradition, and Washington Island offers a less-crowded version than its mainland neighbors to the south. During the fish boil, the twins' Dad offers his own colorful story that matches the flames of the overboil.

Children and their parents will enjoy learning about how lighthouse beacon lights can travel so far, and other interesting scientific and many other facts of nature, in BioFables book five in this full-color series.
