"In the wake of a family tragedy, Minn Hotchkiss is sent to spend the summer with her sour grandmother in the seaside town of Boulder Basin, Nova Scotia. Almost as soon as she arrives, Minn discovers the skull of a human child on the beach. She becomes fixated in a mystery that reaches back more than a century, to the aftermath of the most tragic shipwreck in Maritime history before the Titanic. Over the course of the summer, Minn will discover romance with a boy who turns out to be much more than he seems and will learn that the grandmother she resented is more curious, dedicated, and surprising than she had ever guessed. By summer’s end, Minn will solve a ghostly mystery and finally be able to give up the terrible secret she has kept locked in her heart."--Ministry of Education website.
