Crossman, D. A

Intrigued by the legends spoken about the nearby Burial Island, a site of tragedy during the French and Indian Wars, teenagers Bean Carver and Abigail Peterson embark on an expedition to find the truth about the island, and the importance of friendship and loyalty.

Bean and Ab are looking forward to a relaxing vacation after their last case nearly got them killed, but when Spooky turns up some strange things on the banks of Indian Creek and some unusual characters come to stay, it becomes evident that the summer's adventures are far from over.

Summering on a Maine island, thirteen-year-old Ab joins her friend Bean in investigating the odd noises in her boarding house and solving the mystery of a missing treasure and stolen paintings.
