When Noah and his friends set off on a boat ride through the Louisiana swamp, they're only hoping for a little adventure and some wildlife sightings. But when they overhear a dock worker being blamed for a missing houseboat, the trio decides to search for the houseboat themselves.
What starts as a good deed quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. The houseboat wasn't just lost-it was stolen. And it's being used to hide something shocking.
As the kids navigate gator-infested waters, crumbling plantation ruins, and eerie swamp paths, much-needed help arrives from an unexpected guide who seems to know the swamp like the back of his hand. But what other secrets is he hiding?
As time runs out and danger closes in, the kids must uncover the truth, outsmart the criminals, and face a ghost story that's more real than they ever imagined.
A thrilling, heartfelt mystery for readers 9-12 who love high-stakes adventure, Southern legends, spooky twists, and unlikely friendships. Grab your copy today by award-winning author Shana Gorian.
