The Cursed Lighthouse (The Adventures of Dylan and Milo)

A storm is brewing over Blackthorn Bay… and something sinister is waiting in the fog.

When Dylan and Milo head to the coast for a relaxing weekend, the last thing they expect is another mystery. But when local legends speak of a cursed lighthouse and a ghostly shipwreck, Dylan’s curiosity can’t be contained—even if Aunt Lila told them specifically not to go near it.

Strange lights, ghostly whispers, and a haunting melody pull the boys deeper into the mystery of The Siren’s Wail, a pirate ship lost to the sea decades ago. In the depths of the abandoned lighthouse, they uncover a locket tied to the ship’s curse—and a ghostly warning: Return it… or unleash the captain’s wrath.

Now, with time running out and a storm rolling in, Dylan and Milo must brave rising tides, a haunted wreck, and vengeful spirits to break the curse before the lighthouse—and its deadly secrets—are lost forever.

Packed with action, suspense, and just the right amount of spooky, The Cursed Lighthouse is a fast-paced, middle-grade mystery perfect for fans of Goosebumps, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and Stranger Things.

Will Dylan and Milo solve the mystery… or will the sea claim its next victims?
