The Curse of Castillo Bay Lighthouse
When Ian visits the local lighthouse on a field trip, he learns about pirate treasure and discovers that the ghost stories he's always heard may be more real than he imagined. As if seventh grade wasn't tough enough, he has to deal with his parents' divorce, an annoying little sister, fake friends-and now curses and ghosts? The legends land closer to home when Ian finds the stolen Moon Goddess medallion in his backpack. Worse still when the medallion starts glowing and the lighthouse goes out. Can Ian reverse the curse of the medallion and save Castillo Bay from the ghost pirates threatening to storm the shore?

"Accessible and descriptive prose brings Ian’s authentic middle grade voice to life with appropriate metaphors and a great mix of action and character interiority."
"Descriptions of the cursed medallion and ghost pirates inevitably conjure comparisons to classic stories of adventure; however, integrating Colombian mythology alongside this small Texas town is an exciting combination that sets this book apart."
