For Little Historians

IT'S A CRUEL SUMM ER Arrrr! All Sam wants this summer is to watch baseball, play video games, and read his favorite supernatural series. Too bad his cousin, Alex, is visiting from San Francisco, and now Sam's stuck playing tour guide to a kid he hardly knows... a kid who'd choose sailing camp over stealing bases any day. Then Sam and Alex find themselves swept up in an epic pirate adventure through the historic streets of Boston. With the help of a three-hundred-year-old ghost-pirate, they'll have to piece together the clues of a long-lost treasure map-- and master a tricky sailor's knot--or risk becoming ghosts themselves! The cousins may not have much in common, but along the way they'll learn that some bonds, like some knots, are truly unbreakable .

Ghost stories from America's "Jewel of the Sierras" have never been so creepy, fun, and full of mystery!
Welcome to the spooky shores of Lake Tahoe!
Stay alert! Ghosts lurk around every corner. Even the most unexpected places might be haunted by wandering phantoms.
Did you know Tahoe has a lake monster named Tessie? Or a prehistoric flying beast roaming the skies? Can you believe you might bump into ghostly legends like Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe--and even Elvis!--just hanging around your hotel?
Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see Lake Tahoe, and have you sleeping with the light on!

Shankman & O’Neill have done it again, this time on the shores of a beautiful lake. In their newest romp, a young family spends joyful summers lakeside surrounded by nature.

Dive in and "just picture the fishes that called that lake home—that would wriggle and dive, blow their bubbles, and roam." Listen to the nighttime critters: "The beat was just so, when the volume would grow, and the fireflies added some light to the show." And the daytime animals?" They ran and they sat and they ate and they hid; they did all the same things that the rest of us did."

A true celebration of spending summer days outdoors, The Lake I Love is a beautiful, rhyming adventure that you'll love sharing with your family and friends.
