When their boat sinks, and Omar finds himself alone, with no hope of rescue, it seems as if his story has come to an end. Eventually an opportunity to break free arises and he escapes but not without sadness for his Yeti friends. Ashley, left alone, befriends a tribe of yetis, and for the rest of his life, longs for their peaceful, gentle world. He has an unerring moral compass – his schoolteacher past has never quite left him – and books such as War Horse and The Butterfly Lion have a strong social concience and an honesty that makes them universal.They also had issues with food supplies; it was because of this that Ashley and his Uncle Sung were separated.

This book as of other books of the author deal with war, human relations and various things that hold a man to philosophical nature of the human nature.

It was Benjamin Postlethwaite's job all his long life to make sure the light shone brightly high up in the lighthouse on Puffin Island.
