Summary
Twelve-year-old Parker has grown up on Spruce Point, Maine, at his family motel, the Home Away Inn. Tucked on a wooded peninsula, the inn has been in the family for generations. But business has been down, and Parker's parents aren't sure if the motel will last much longer. Not only is the inn struggling, but strange things have been happening recently. Though the area has always been rumored to have paranormal activity, Parker and his best friend, Frankie, never paid any attention -- until now. It feels as if there is a curse over the entire point: there are no visitors, the weather has been unusually gloomy, and there have been sightings of people on the beaches who seem to just... vanish. When random clues start showing up in the secret tree fort Parker and Frankie use every summer, they realize that someone -- or something -- has unfinished business. And with the help of a surprising ally, Parker and Frankie must figure out how everything is connected before it's too late for the Home Away Inn... and themselves!
