Shana Gorian

Three mysterious adventures:

1. THE HAUNTED LIGHTHOUSE

On a visit to a coastal harbor town, the world is Noah’s oyster 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 thirteen-year-old Noah, 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 troublesome 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.

2. THE LEGEND OF CREEPY HOLLOW

Noah’s got his hands full, although he doesn’t mind the freedom that a weekend at the Murphy’s apple orchard in New York State offers. He’s got farm chores to do and a geocache to locate—an extra credit assignment that might be his only chance at raising his failing history grade.

But when its GPS coordinates point toward a massive corn maze smack in the middle of a popular fall festival, the hunt becomes a lot more complicated than he’d imagined, especially when the gang learns of the vengeful nineteenth-century ghost rider haunting the fields.

3. THE CURSE OF PIRATE'S COVE

When a friendly shopkeeper spins a sordid tale of pirate legend on their first day of vacation, Noah dismisses it as nothing more than a thrilling tale. Yet, following his souvenir treasure map through the Caribbean rain forest in pursuit of the elusive “X” sounds like a fun way to spend a day in paradise.

Little does he know the pursuit could change his life forever. Because as he and his sister and best friend inch closer to the treasure, the unimaginable might just become reality. And if it does, can the kids defy the odds and escape with their lives?

For ages 8-12

"...Pirate shipwrecks, buried treasures, vindictive ghosts, and buried treasure make this an exciting fictional story for middle grade and younger teens to enjoy. (Kids who are) old enough not to try this in real life but also old enough to enjoy an “Indiana Jones” adventure.
