Description
Fourth-grader Jack Newton is miserable: his family is moving across the country and he might never see Iowa--or his best friend--again. But Jack can't help but cheer up when he sees his new home: an old lighthouse keeper's lodge, right on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. As it turns out, there's another 10-year-old boy who calls the lighthouse home--and he materializes in Jack's room one foggy night. He's a ghost! After Jack's terror subsides, he listens to Nathaniel's tale of the shipwreck that cost him his life. . . and of the mystery surrounding his father's death. Can Jack help the ghost discover the truth about his dad and that stormy night long ago? This haunting middle-grade ghost story from the acclaimed author of Dear Levi and Dear Austin will have reluctant readers and mystery fans racing to uncover this 150-year-old secret.
