So what would you do? Stay in a boring one horse town and face up to the local psycho-bully you've just insulted? Or escape...to a school you don't know, on an island in the Great Lakes that you've never even heard of? Teenager Eldred Patchett has a split second to make a choice that will change his life forever. And once his decision is made, there's no going back; he'll have to conquer a whole new set of dangers and challenges. Can Eldred overcome his temper and his recklessness to take the chance he's been given? Has he got what it takes to solve the unexplained disappearance of a school student before another victim vanishes? And why is a Native American ghost trying to contact him? So many questions. But can Eldred find the answers?
