Eleven-year-old Max Edgars would rather be anywhere but his grandmother's creepy old house this summer . . . especially when the creek floods and dark magic rises from its depths. His grandmother is becoming unhinged. With the spooky basement, oppressive household rules, and cryptic warnings to steer clear of the locked-tight storage under the garage, Max's one escape is playing out back in the gentle creek. But the flood soon puts an end to that. Only when he braves the basement and forbidden garage does Max begin to understand his grandmother's past and her hidden loss. And only then does the true menace of the chaotic creek water rise to the surface . . . Can Max trust magical strangers and brave an underwater journey to unlock the mysteries of Arcana Creek? This is a standalone dark fantasy tale suitable for readers 10 and up.
