The lantern by Gary Crew

The lantern by Gary Crew, illustrated by Bruce Whatley. Hachette Children’s Books Australia 2005. 

A story written to inspire hope – and ideas – rather than address grief and death. Aiden’s father goes missing at sea, and an old lantern gives Aiden visions of the past – of past missing people. It has an ambiguous and open-ended ending.
