Waiting in the Waves (Hardcover)

Phoenix loves nothing more than surfing. So when she’s grounded after failing yet another history test, she’s determined not to miss the last waves of the season. She’ll sneak out in the dead of night and surf by the light of the full October moon. But she soon spies another, otherworldly glow glimmering on the dark waves . . . a ghost ship. If Phoenix had bothered to pay attention in class, she would’ve learned the local legend of a bloodthirsty pirate who returns every year from beyond to force unlucky souls to find his lost treasure—or die trying. Can Phoenix escape the greedy ghost, or will ignoring history come back to haunt her? Prepared to be scared in this chilling chapter book for young readers by the master of misery and fright, I.M. Dehd.
