"Caroline's Lighthouse" Second EditionWhat really happened at Bettencourt Estate?In the mid-1800s, Caroline Marshall was forced to accept the marriage proposal of an attorney from a neighboring town. However, Caroline was in love with Thomas Cooper, the caretaker of the Bettencourt Estate Lighthouse and an orphan whom the family had taken in several years prior.

In 1996, fifteen-year-old Caroline Douglas, named after the legendary ghost, visits the estate that has been in her mother's family for generations. She's not there long before strange things begin to happen. With help from her family and her best friend, Bo, will Caroline solve the mystery surrounding the haunting of her inherited home before it's too late?

A full conjugation is given in up to seven modes for each verb, along with meanings and usage, conjugation patterns, a component breakdown, and more.To help increase the fun factor in learning to conjugate Navajo verbs, the book can be used in coordination with a software game available at no cost on the company's website at www.accessnavajo.com. (A Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE(TM)), currently available for download free of charge from Oracle, is also required.) The game is played by clicking on a verb mode, clicking on specific verb forms, and then clicking on corresponding positions to arrange the forms in order and earn points. If all 12 forms of a given mode are correct, you get bonus points. There are three skill levels to test how well you really know your forms. You can also play against the clock, and play strategically for a high score by assigning a certain amount of time to a given verb mode. It is also possible for two players to play against each other. You can check your answers multiple times against an answer set, making it possible to quickly acquire knowledge of a large number of verbs in multiple modes in a way that is both interesting and challenging. The book, in conjunction with the software game and descriptive videos on the Access Navajo YouTube(R) channel, can turn the complex internal patterns of Navajo verbs into a source of great enjoyment.
