Will Sutton and the Ghost Coast

Will's idyllic summer vacation at the beach comes to an unexpected end when he unwittingly summons notorious pirate Red Patch Roger, the bloodiest buccaneer of them all, from his unhallowed grave. Red Patch, whispered the legend, had sold himself to the Powers of Darkness for success at piracy. The pirate captain laid a terrible curse on his mutinous crew as he lay dying, binding them to his will forever - and now they rise from their watery grave at their undead master's call. The only way to break the curse of Red Patch's unnatural life-in-death is to find the treasure he stole from his crew, which also lies under his curse. But to find the buried gold, Will, Lisa, Waldo, and Uncle Zachary must decipher the bizarre, seemingly meaningless clue Red Patch left behind. To learn the location of the last marker of the treasure, Will must take a desperate chance and contact the ghostly woman who haunts the lonely shore. In life, she may have learned the secret of the treasure, but she died mad - and her ghost is still insane. And Will and his friends have rivals for the treasure hunt: Red Patch himself, and his skeletal crew of undead buccaneers . . . Ghosts, walking skeletons, and buried loot - what more does any kid need for an unforgettable vacation? An unforgettable vacation - if Will survives it
