Thirteen-year-old Peter Penstimon thought summer meant sun, surfing, and maybe a little boredom-not unraveling family secrets at a crumbling estate teeming with ghosts. But when Peter's parents drag him to Watchwood Farm, the long-abandoned ancestral home, everything changes. He soon discovers his father isn't who he thought he was...and neither is Watchwood.

Haunted by spirits desperate to reveal a centuries-old mystery, Peter is pulled into a chilling quest for answers. With the help of sharp-witted Hadley Hawkins, granddaughter of Watchwood's groundskeeper, Peter must uncover the truth behind his uncle Lincoln's disappearance and the dark legacy buried deep in Watchwood's past.

He wanted a carefree summer. Instead, he got ghostly riddles, hidden dangers, and a life-threatening inheritance. Ignoring the spirits could cost him everything-not just the truth, but the lives of those he loves most...
