Bookroo's summary

In Eerie-on-Sea, Herbert Lemon and Violet Parma face a brewing storm and a legendary sea monster, Gargantis. As the creature awakens, it seeks a stolen treasure hidden in the Grand Nautilus Hotel's Lost-and-Foundery. With the town's secrets and suspicious characters, Herbie and Violet must unravel the mystery before the storms become deadly. Can they uncover the thief and calm the ancient beast?

From the publisher

In the second fantasy set in Eerie-on-Sea, Herbert and Violet team up to solve the mystery of Gargantis – an ancient creature of the deep with the power to create life-threatening storms. There’s a storm brewing over Eerie-on-Sea, and the fisherfolk say a monster is the cause. Someone has woken the ancient Gargantis, who sleeps in the watery caves beneath this spooky seaside town where legends have a habit of coming to life. It seems the Gargantis is looking for something: a treasure stolen from her underwater lair. And it just might be in the Lost-and-Foundery at the Grand Nautilus Hotel, in the care of one Herbert Lemon, Lost-and-Founder. With the help of the daring Violet Parma, ever-reliable Herbie will do his best to figure out what the Gargantis wants and who stole her treasure in the first place. In a town full of suspicious, secretive characters, it could be anyone!
