A hidden pirate treasure. A legendary artifact. Two teen detectives caught in a dangerous game of secrets and lies.

Join teen detectives Ava and Carol in this action-packed, Nancy Drew meets National Treasure, mystery adventure as they hunt for the legendary Screaming Monkey statue and unearth the secrets hidden on Nantucket.

When Ava and Carol cross paths with celebrity adventurer Sebastian Strong and his film crew, they stumble onto a legend of lost pirate treasure: the Screaming Monkey statue, rumored to have vanished with the shipwreck of the Whydah Gally. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize this isn't just a ghost story-it's a deadly game of secrets, betrayal, and hidden treasure.

Armed with forensic science, fearless determination, and the help of quirky characters, Ava and Carol follow clues through Nantucket's cemetery and a centuries-old schoolhouse. From coded letters hidden in old Bibles to fingerprints and fibers left behind, every piece of evidence brings them closer to the truth-and closer to ruthless enemies who will stop at nothing to protect their legacy.

Perfect for fans of Nancy Drew, Enola Holmes, and fast-paced treasure hunt mysteries, The Screaming Monkey combines history, adventure, and heart in a thrilling page-turner for young detectives and mystery lovers of all ages.

Will Ava and Carol solve the cipher and uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will the Screaming Monkey claim its next victims?
