Henry & Eva and the Castle on the Cliff

ebook

The Graveyard Book meets The Goonies in this smart, spunky middle grade mystery from acclaimed author Andrea Portes!

Prominent Environmentalist and Oceanographer Die in Boating Accident

This is the headline that changes Henry and Eva's lives. Their parents, environmentalist William Billings and his oceanographer wife Margo, disappear mysteriously at sea.

But for Henry and Eva, things are about to go from bad to worse. Their jerk-face uncle (nicknamed Claude the Clod) and his awful girlfriend (Terri the Terrible) have moved into their big house on the cliff to "take care of them," but Eva has her doubts about their intentions.

And when some spooky visitors appear with a message, they realize that their parents' deaths might not have been as cut and dry as everyone thinks.

It's up to Henry and Eva to discover the truth—but can they do it before the Clod catches them?

Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket, readers of this arch, spooky, timeless tale will find themselves enraptured with this fresh new middle grade series.


Henry and Eva are on their own in a house full of secrets. Can this brother and sister duo uncover the truth before it's too late?
