About the Book:

My Review:
The Captain of a ship is usually the voice of reason in all things confusing or upsetting. He is the one, after all that everyone must depend on. This book in the Captain No Beard series is a touching one, yet thought provoking because the Captain wants to steal something that can't be stolen. Hallie has to be the one to reach out to him and help him see that stealing is wrong and the Aurora Borealis can't be taken home with them. It is a beautiful array of light that is available to a precious few and can only be seen in one special place.
So what is the crew to do? Improvise, of course. So they immediately they set to work on their own creation of the glorious lights, right there in Alexander's room. The Captain No Beard series is a sweet, children's series based on imagination on real life situations. It is a great character series for children!
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from Bostick.
