The Hidden Key

An eerie old mansion, a stolen jewelry box, and a girl who vanishes into thin air. A page-turning ghost story perfect for middle graders.

Sara Sims has always been drawn to the supernatural. She's not spooked by the ghost stories and sightings that haunt her small seaside town.

But all that changes one summer vacation when Sara and her two best friends find a key at the mansion that doesn't seem to unlock anything. As the kids find themselves being drawn deeper and deeper into the mystery surrounding the key, they soon discover that they're not the only ones interested in it.

A century-old ghost with piercing eyes and a malevolent spirit wants that key, too, and will stop at nothing to get it.

Maybe the three kids should leave the investigation of all the weird happenings to the adults. But Sara is determined to find the answer.

Can she and her friends escape the sinister presence that threatens to destroy everything?
