Summary: Twelve-year-old Dash and his friend Lily expect a fun summer at Black Sand Beach, but eerie surprises await. The beach house is a rundown shack, and Dash's odd relatives are unsettling. When a zombie ram charges through the yard and ghostly voices echo from an abandoned lighthouse, Dash realizes this vacation is about survival. What secrets does the beach hold, and can Dash uncover them before it's too late? Dive into a spine-tingling adventure where nothing is as it seems, and every shadow hides a mystery. Keep a flashlight handy—this summer is anything but ordinary.
