Old Secrets, Buried Treasure, Mystical Pirates... Oh, My!

Meet Misty Gordon
Kim Kennedy's book, Misty Gordon and the Mystery of the Ghost Pirates, has all the best elements of a fun read: a hint of mythology, a teaspoon of mystery, a dollop of history, a smidgen of scary, and a pinch of science fiction!

The novel follows Misty as she gets caught up in a puzzle plot while assisting her father, an estate and antiques dealer. In the truckload of things, Misty stumbles upon a pair of extraordinary glasses and a special diary which help her solve a mystery that will keep you guessing and rooting for Misty to save the day! A sequel seems in order...
