From the moment Otis and Cody Carson arrive on Skull Island to stay at their aunt's inn, they know something is wrong. A giant snake turns up on their aunt's bed, one of the rooms is violently ransacked, and then a celebrity guest goes missing. Could a ghost be responsible--or pirates?

Zach Norris is the author of many popular children's books, including the complete Double Detectives series.
Twelve-year-old twins Otis and Cody love to play detective, but their chance to be detectives for real comes when their father takes them (along with their cousin Rae Lee) to Skull Island, where their great-aunt Edith has just opened a bed and breakfast. Dropping chandeliers, steps that give way, and mysterious footsteps in the middle of the night point to a pirate’s ghost that could mean the end of Aunt Edith’s business. Otis and Cody get to know the people staying at the inn, and it becomes clear that most are hiding something. The three kids’ immense personal knowledge of all things common and arcane gives them resources to solve the crimes even without Internet access. Only younger readers will be willing to put up with the palindromes, proud displays of esoteric humor, and the perpetually good humor of the twins. The novel (first in a series of at least four titles) features both the supernatural and the rational as real, and young readers will enjoy the fast pace, though more discriminating readers will be frustrated with how much the author protects and helps the heroes. --Melissa Moore
