"A tale that is chilling on more than one level... Zombie rats and ghastly ghosts galore--but the haunting comes from more than the spectral cast" -- Kirkus

When 13-year-old Glennon McCue, his mom, and his fragile sister are left with their uncle at his lighthouse on Isle Philippeaux, Glennon desperately wants leave the desolate isle and return home. But his father is away, so Glennon is forced to spend his break surrounded by fog, rats, and chilling myths. Nothing seems quite right... with the island or with his family.

A storm rocks the island and a ship crashes near the lighthouse, leaving behind a group of sailors. Something is off about the survivors, who seem more monster than human. Soon it becomes clear that there won't be boats to take anyone home, and Glennon and his family are trapped.

It will take all Glennon's courage to save his family from the curse of the isle and the real monster in his life.

Industry Reviews

The supernatural and interpersonal story lines offer a hard-won tale of freeing oneself from both internal and external limitations. Brandt's (A Wilder Magic) writing is lyrical--the gale force wind almost feels like its own character--and the narrative atmosphere proves harrowing -- Publishers Weekly
Fans of ghost stories such as Mary Downing Hahn's All the Lovely Bad Ones will be intrigued by this suspenseful tale. A ghostly tale of family secrets; recommended for general purchase -- School Library Journal
This haunting story wrecked me in the very best way, and took me on an emotional adventure I didn't want to end. Juliana has masterfully written a spooky story, with wonderfully crafted characters you can't help but to root for, while also subtly introducing a difficult topic that resonates in so many ways. From page one, I quickly became lost in the beauty of the storytelling and riveted to the mystery and horror that was so brilliantly unfolding chapter by chapter. This heartfelt and creepy story will stay with you long after you finish the novel! -- Daka Hermon, author of Hide and Seeker
Stranger Things meets The Goonies... this adventure tale has serious themes but also plenty of heart and just the right amount of chills -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
A lot of creepy vibes... complete with monsters and ghosts -- School Library Connection
Zombie rats and ghastly ghosts galore--but the haunting comes from more than the spectral cast -- Kirkus
