Bookroo's summary

Desmond and Andres face a chilling challenge at the beach: bullies who are actually monsters. In Kersville, where ghosts and ghouls lurk, the duo must confront these eerie Mersurfers. Desmond is fearless, but Andres is scared of everything. Can they outsmart the supernatural threats and enjoy their beach day, or will the haunted waves prove too much? Dive into this thrilling adventure where the sand is haunted, and the stakes are high!

From the publisher

Desmond and Andres battle beach bullies who also happen to be creepy monsters in the third book of the Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol chapter book series!

Welcome to Kersville, a town with a spooky history and a collection of ghosts and spirits who are major mischief-makers. Most kids spend their days without ever seeing or dealing with a ghost, but some kids get stuck with a haunt. When that happens, they call Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol. There’s no job too spooky, icky, or risky for Desmond.

I’m not like that at all. My name’s Andres Miedoso. I’m Desmond’s best friend and I’m afraid of everything.

When you go to the beach with Desmond Cole, it isn’t all sand, surf, and sun. It’s more like, ghosts, ghouls, and gloom. And yes, being haunted while there’s sand in your swimsuit is annoying, but at least you can always count on one thing—beach life is never boring with Mersurfers around.

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.
