Synopsis

When is a lighthouse not a lighthouse? Did Sam, Becky, and their friends cross the Cape Fear River just to get to the other side?

What started as a summer vacation on North Carolina(s Oak Island has landed Sam, Becky, Troy, and Andrew right in the middle of a ghostly treasure hunt. And now it(s up to them to help Stede Bonnet(s great, great, great, great, great—oh, whatever—granddaughter find Bonnet s greatest treasure.

But someone else is hunting treasure too.

Is it just a coincidence that the man on the ferry the one who pointed out all the lighthouses has a bushy, black beard? All clues are pointing to the little Price(s Creek Lighthouse even though it s been abandoned for years. But is it still? Join in as the four friends solve puzzles, follow clues, and discover that treasure hunting can be hard work and a whole lot of fun.

About the Author:

M.C. Tillson loves reading and writing children(s books. Ask her what her favorite books were when she was growing up and she rattles off a list: The Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Dangerous Island, the Anne of Green Gables books, and, of course, Nancy Drew mysteries. She soon stops and protests,"I can't pick. I haven't even mentioned A Wrinkle in Time, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, Taffy of Torpedo Junction, or any of the Dr. Seuss books that I read over and over." When Ms. Tillson is not blogging with her dog Mercy, working as a technical writer in California(s Silicon Valley, or substituting at the local elementary school, she(s most likely working on her Lighthouse Adventures, a series of mysteries for middle graders. Her latest book, The Clue at Price(s Creek, is the second book in a mystery trilogy that features pirates and lighthouses from her native North Carolina. Ms. Tillson(s previous books, The Clue at Copper Harbor, The Mystery at Eagle Harbor, and The Secret of Bete Grise Bay, are popular middle-grade mysteries set in one of her favorite places: Michigan(s amazing Upper Peninsula.
Ms. Tillson lives in Northern California with her son and Brittany Spaniel. She is a huge fan of the San Francisco Giants (World Series Champions for 2010, 2012, AND 2014!) She likes traveling to fun places, working in her garden, playing cards, and reading. Her favorite color is green and her favorite food is anything Italian. She loves talking with kids—especially about their favorite books.
