Description: "Was that a g-g-ghost? No way! Alex didn't believe in such things! But when a ghost scares Alex half to death on the beach at Treasure Island, San Luis Pass, in Texas, he begins to change his mind. Why does the ghost keep wailing 'Malhado'? Why does he carry that revolting cow skull? And why does he whisper about buried treasure? When Juliann, from the beach house next door, decides to help Alex answer those questions, a mysterious ghost lady frightens them both - and she even knows their names! As Alex and Juliann discover the exciting history of Treasure Island, they learn that there just might be some treasure to be found"--Back cover
