Eerie lights. Alien visitors. A mystery too strange to ignore.
Something otherworldly has landed on Weirdbey Island. Strange symbols scar the cornfields overnight. People vanish without a trace. And a mysterious green glow pulses through the night sky — with Dylan Wylde right in the middle of it all.
When the Society of the Owl and Wolf sends Dylan and his friends on a cryptic new mission, they find themselves racing through misty lanes and haunted fields, teaming up with strange visitors who are far more than they first appear.
As an alien invasion looms and a doomsday clock counts down its final hours, Dylan and his crew must crack a supernatural mystery to save not just their small town — but the whole world from forces beyond imagination.
Perfect for Goosebumps fans and readers who love a weird middle grade mystery packed with UFOs, close encounters, and page-turning twists, The Mystery at Ebey’s Landing is a page-turning adventure for reluctant readers who can’t get enough of a good spooky mystery. The truth is out there — are you brave enough to find it?
