(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin M. Barry. Ghost cat Sailor Boy secretly lives in a remote lighthouse with its elderly (female) keeper. The cat enjoys teasing tourists with "ghostly purrs or a little scratch at an ankle," but when Miss Maggie takes a fall during a storm, Sailor Boy finds a way to save ships from crashing. The story is somewhat bland, but Barry's gently macabre line and watercolor illustrations add atmosphere.
