Author's Description

Twelve-year old Jase Dauphin is thrilled to spend summer vacation exploring his grandfather's spooky, swampy island. There he discovers a hidden cave, a disappearing haunted house that moves around, and his father's old ghost-hunting notebooks. Oh. Right. He ALSO finds bats, gator-filled bogs, and the general presence of ghosts! Soon he and his new friends are waist-deep (literally, in quicksand!) trying to solve the mystery that chased his dad off the island.

Why I Chose it

I don't run into too many middle grade stories. This one sets up the family dynamics in the first episode and also brings in the adventure portion. Who wouldn't want to go live on an island for the summer?

[24 episodes so far, 22 in the last 30 days.]

Who Might Like This

For the middle grade action/adventure fans!

Unrelated Griping

The "Completed stories" carousel hasn't changed since they added it a week or two ago, and there's an erotica story with a fairly racy cover that shows up in a prominent position. I'm surprised that isn't more of an issue.
