"By the time we drove into town a briny smelling fog had rolled in from the bay shrouding the buildings and street lamps and the air was filled with a mournful moaning. My feel good moment was immediately replaced by a sense of foreboding." Moving is never easy, and Matt and Stephie soon learn that life in Moody Bay is something else again. Matt is befriended by outsider Joey Field, who is believed to have "the gift" of seeing things, and Stephie's new best friend is the sister of the school bully! Is there any truth in the tales of sunken treasure? And who is behind the spate of increasingly violent robberies and break-ins?
