    Synopsis

    Danny and Life on Bluff Point: Lost in the Dark, is the third in a series of historical novels for children. This portion of the Danny adventures takes place in February of 1895 with winter fun and chores continuing. Pa and Uncle Henry race their spirited teams and sleighs along the Ridge Road. Danny is given his own small iceboat, which is to be shared with Cousin Jay.

    Our hero fails to pay attention to what is happening around him and spends a cold windless night, alone on Keuka Lake ice. Danny chooses the wrong direction in the moonless night and walks further away from home. He decides to try to hide his iceboating mistakes from Ma and Pa.

    Danny comes to understand falsehoods are of no help and taking responsibility for his actions is the best policy.

    A reviewer (debrazgalaxy@yahoo.com) , in love with history, 10/02/2006

    What a great series of books to just slow down with. Sit with your kids and read these together. I bought this series for my son as we live near Bluff Point. I pre-read them for content. 'Life on Bluff Point' books are great reading on many levels. There is a bit of history, as well as daily life and lessons to be learned with in these pages. You do not have to be a local person to enjoy Dannys journals. My son liked the family dynamics of this era, with its joys and conflicts and I liked the many subtle lessons on good behavior. Reading about the daily chores and responsibilities of the children was an eye opener for my ten year old, as was the fact that all these years later, boys will still be boys.
