A Savannah mystery with a supernatural question

Set during a family vacation in Savannah, the mystery begins when a girl believed to have died years earlier is found washed ashore. Nick Caden’s investigation takes a more urgent turn when his sister Wendy disappears, and the messages left for him blur the line between a strange explanation and an ordinary crime. The story brings together a missing-person search, clues to sort through, and the question of what really happened to the girl. Its young investigators and mystery-centered plot place it in the tradition of children’s detective adventures, with an apparent supernatural element complicating the case.

Book overview

★ Shortlisted as a Selah Winner for Teen Fiction ★ first published by Zonderkidz

 

On vacation with his parents in Savannah, Georgia, Nick Caden is eager to investigate the mystery surrounding Heidi May Laveau, a girl who supposedly died years ago but whose body just washed up on the shore. Once again, Nick's curiosity gets the better of him, only this time he brings his sister, Wendy, along to investigate-and she's taken by what appears to be a zombie of the dead girl!

 

Of course, no one believes Nick when he claims a member of the living dead pulled his sister away in a canoe, even after she proves impossible to find. But this kidnapper has messages for Nick from "beyond the grave," and he faces the difficult task of sorting fact from fiction before his worst fears come true. It's a race against the clock to discover where the true danger lies-because the answer might be right under Nick's nose.

 

Who knows what horrors will be found when the tide recedes?

 

This charming middle-grade mystery blends classic whodunits with Scooby-Doo, Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew-style mystery adventures.
