The Ghost of Lizard Light
-=+=-
Drawings by Elaine Clayton.
As the Carlton family car barrels toward Maine, ten-year old Jack is slumped in the back seat, missing every single about Iowa. Then his dad pulls up to their new home - a lighthouse cottage at the edge of the ocean - and, suddenly, moving doesn't seem so bad.
However, at the stroke of midnight, the Lizard Light cottage reveals an unearthly surprise: a ghost-boy has been wandering its halls for more than a century. To Jack's horror, Nathaniel Witherspoon materializes at the foot of his bed that first foggy night, and announces, "You're exactly the kind of boy I need."
In a harrowing story of high-seas rescue, it's up to Jack Carlton to unlock the 150-year-old secret of a long-ago shipwreck that claimed many lives - including young Nathaniel Witherspoon's.
