The Ghosts of Gannet Rock

Three American Scouts. One haunted Scottish castle. And a ghost who refuses to stay dead.

Eli “North” Bennett, Sam “Beans” Delgado, and Owen “Velcro” Brooks expect their summer in the seaside village of Kilbrae to be quiet. Then a glowing princess appears on the walls of Gannet Rock Castle—and a ghostly knight begins begging her forgiveness.

The villagers whisper about an ancient murder. Tourists arrive hoping to see the spirits. The local constable blames fog, birds, and overactive imaginations.

But the boys discover clues that no ghost should leave behind: hidden wires, muddy footprints, mysterious crates, and a secret message from a writer who suddenly disappears.

Armed with Scout skills, homemade disguises, questionable detective methods, and enough emergency snacks to survive almost anything, North, Beans, and Velcro follow the trail from the castle battlements to the dangerous tunnels beneath Gannet Rock.

Someone is using the legend to conceal a real crime—and the three young detectives may be getting far too close to the truth.

A funny, fast-moving mystery filled with friendship, secret passages, ancient legends, suspicious adults, and just enough ghostly danger to keep the lights on after bedtime. Perfect for adventurous readers ages 9–13.
