The Haunted Lighthouse - Gorian, Shana

. .

Résumé :
When a mysterious beam of light appears during a thunderstorm off the coast of Maine, three friends go in search of answers and find themselves unraveling an otherworldly tale. For thirteen-year-old Noah Wright, a trip to a beautiful seaside village in Maine means the perfect start to his summer break. But when he and his friends stumble upon an abandoned lighthouse on a nearby island, a troubling mystery that haunts the town begins to reveal itself. One clue leads to another until it becomes clear that the people of Westport would rather deny the hundred-year-old legend than admit to its ghostly origins. The first installment in a spine-chilling, adventure series for kids. ...It reminded me of Goosebumps in a good way. ...Ghostly without being too scary. ...Great mystery. Page turner. It really seems to me this book would share shelf space with The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and my personal favourite... Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators. Solving mysteries whilst exploring via boats, bikes, on foot brings back an age of being able to grow up in moments without grown-up supervision and turning up ok-those were the days. Follow the adventures of three unlikely sleuths in the Tales of the Lost & Found, a new middle grade mystery series by Shana Gorian, recommended for ages 8-12. No graphic violence or language. Book 3 in the series won a Maincrest Media Book Award for Pre-Teen Fiction 2024....
