Erik is sad that he is now living in South Carolina, He moved there with his mom when she found out his dad was not being faithful to her. He is miserable in South Carolina because he is away from everything he knows. Erik meets the twins Starry and Stormy Knight. Erik becomes friends with despite them being pretty weird and the fact that Starry can read minds, which really makes Erik uncomfortable.Erik and the twins investigate an abandon lighthouse where they see a light coming from. In the lighthouse, Erik is stunned to find actual ghosts! The ghosts (a blockade runner, a pirate and a cat) are looking for something and can't rest until they find it. Erik hatches a plan to help the ghosts in exchange for their help in getting him back to his home in Texas.Opinion- First of all, what an AWESOME main character name (with the correct spelling)!  ;) Besides having an awesome name (spelled correctly) I thought Erik was a great main character. He is a very believable 13-year-old and I really wanted him to get a solution to his problem. I love the unique plot of the book, that the kids help out some ghosts and in return the ghosts help Erik. That makes this book a very different kind of ghost story. I love the weirdness of the Knight twins and the fact that Starry can read minds. They are very likeable characters too. The book is a clean read,  although it is mentioned that the mom finds a certain lacy undergarment in the glove box of Erik's dad's car (that happens before the story starts but is referenced in the book) and is why she took Erik and left.  The cover of the book is pretty cool. It has a creepy but historical feel to it. The ending to the book was good and not what I expected, but it left me feeling good about the story.*NOTE I got a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
