The Phantom Yacht

Dories Moore has just lost everything that matters. Her best friend Nann is moving to Boston, and despite their solemn vows of sisterhood, Dories faces the summer alone. But nothing prepares her for her father's announcement: she will spend the season at Siquaw Point, living with Great-Aunt Jane, a relative she's never met but who carries a reputation as cold and wealthy. The isolated cottage proves more terrifying than Dories imagined. Rumors swirl about Darlina, the last occupant of the ruined house nearby, who died under mysterious circumstances and is said to still wander the grounds. When a phantom yacht materializes on the misty waters off the point, Dories musters what courage she has to investigate. What she uncovers will pull her into her family's dark past and force her to confront something far stranger than any ghost story. This is a book for readers who loved spooky attics, whispered family secrets, and the particular loneliness of summer nights when everything feels possible and dangerous at once.
