A lighthouse. A mystery. A call from the sea. When strange lights begin flickering from an abandoned lighthouse near Whispering Hollow, Zina and her best friend Leo are pulled into a magical mystery that stretches far beyond their quiet coastal town. Something deep in the ocean is reaching out-and it needs their help. Strange energy readings, talking sea creatures, and shadowy forces are just the beginning. As the friends uncover the lighthouse's forgotten history, they learn it was once a sacred link between the land and sea. Now that connection is breaking, and the consequences could ripple through both worlds. To save the day, Zina, Leo, and their supernatural friends-including a mermaid, a ghost, and a phoenix-must brave riddles, shadow mazes, and underwater battles. Along the way, they discover that even the most unlikely creatures have something in common-and the only way to win is to work together. Full of heart, humor, and adventure, The Lighthouse Keeper is a chapter book perfect for readers aged 8-12 who love magical friendships, inclusive worlds, and stories where teamwork lights the way.
