Summary "Jack Straw, Lighthouse Builder" by Irving Crump is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the adventures of the young protagonist, Jack Straw, who takes a summer job working on the construction of a lighthouse on Cobra Reef, Hood Island, Maine. The narrative highlights themes of ambition, engineering, and camaraderie, as Jack navigates challenges with his fellow workers while aiming to learn more about marine engineering. The opening of the book introduces Jack Straw, a high school student consumed with excitement over a telegram offering him a summer job in the Lighthouse Bureau. The narrative describes his life at Drueryville Academy, including his friends and their engagement in athletics. After receiving the telegram, Jack eagerly prepares for the journey ahead, reflecting on both his family and the imminent opportunity that lies in lighthouse building.
