But twelve-year-old Maya Quinn refuses to forget. When she finds a mysterious message in a bottle on the haunted cliffs of Whispering Bluff, Maya and her friends uncover a chilling pattern that ties missing children, fog-filled tunnels, and a long-forgotten legend called The Hollowing. To save her town and her missing brother, Maya must remember what Whistlewood has chosen to forget... before it's too late.
