lighthouses

When a mysterious beam of light appears during a thunderstorm off the coast of Maine with no logical explanation, three friends go in search of answers and find themselves unraveling an otherworldly tale. Noah's been known to leap before he looks, but fortunately, his sister's wits are usually sharp enough to extract the group from the sticky situations in which he lands them. On a visit to a coastal harbor town in Maine, the world is Noah's oyster--pun intended--as long as the stormy weather doesn't ruin the fun. Summer break has just begun, and with seven days of freedom, how much trouble can he and his best friend and his sister really find? Plenty, as it turns out. Because when the kids go snooping around an old, decommissioned lighthouse, its haunting secrets begin to reveal themselves, and the kids are about to stumble upon a hundred-year-old mystery that still haunts the nearby fishing village.

Just about any place in the world can be haunted. Ships and lighthouses are places men and women of the sea spent years of their lives. See why it seems some aren't ready to leave...even after death!.
