THE PIRATES OF PENN COVE
Book 1 of the Weirdbey Island Series
by Eldritch Black
When twelve-year-old Dylan Wylde sees a ghostly pirate ship rise from the fog of Penn Cove, his life gets a lot more interesting. A cursed pirate crew. A secret society with cryptic clues. Buried treasure—and a sea monster guarding it.
With his new puzzle-solving friends—Dylan must race against supernatural forces to solve an ancient mystery before it’s too late. Following hidden clues across the eerie, fog-shrouded island, they’ll need courage, brains, loyalty, and maybe a little bit of luck to outwit the undead pirates and uncover secrets that have been buried for centuries.
Because on Weirdbey Island, nothing stays buried forever.
Perfect for fans of Goosebumps, Nancy Drew, and The Goonies!
The Pirates of Penn Cove is a fast-paced mystery adventure with just the right amount of spooky—and friendship.
