Cara’s mother has disappeared. Her father isn’t talking about it. Her big brother Max is hiding behind his iPod, and her genius little brother Jackson is busy studying the creatures he collects from the beach. But when a watery specter begins to haunt the family’s Cape Cod home, Cara and her brothers realize that their scientist mother may not be who they thought she was—and that the world has much stranger, much older inhabitants than they had imagined. With help from Cara’s best friend Hayley, the three embark on a quest that will lead them from the Cape’s hidden, ancient places to a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. They’re soon on the front lines of an ancient battle between good and evil, with the terrifying “pouring man” close on their heels.

Warning: to all those who hate blood spill, horror and well listening to their mothers don't read this book. This book is soul touching (hehe) to me I guess. The truth is I can't describe much but read it then you describe for me. Pls don't read this to 2nd grades, you will probably scare the bejeezus out of them. Go ahead, take a peep cos adventure awaits.... muahahah

How do you fall in love with a girl who never opens up? Daniel was an average human who discovered a life-changing truth about himself....<spoiler alert!> Note before you read, there shall be laughter! A lot of it! There could be tears, there are some sad sad parts, and they will be a lot of "OMG! Are you serious right now?" moments. Also some girl screaming 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh' moments. Seriously though, why do they scream when they're talking. Another thing that pisses me off is the blowing of their faces when they're crying? Are the tears boiling their faces? Or do they want it to dry before it ruins their makeup? So buckle up and have a ride. Daniel, what do you have to say? There are fun facts after each chapter, so be my guest. Daniel: So I heard a bunch of mythical facts and I'm a non-believer. Sorry, that came out wrong. I 'was' a non-believer. Turns out it's all real! Crazy also, 'cos I'm can control- (Kay: Shhhhhhhhhh... Dan! No spoilers.) Oh... Right. Kaystar says I shouldn't spoil the book for prompting readers. (Dan: But how are they supposed to know? Kay: They will when they read. Dan: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) So well, turns out there was something I had to do to something for it to function, although I had to fight with some monsters. Some crazy ones, very very crazy. I fell in love with someone...oh two of them actually. Then I was in a triangle, my best friend gives me advice on every angle and....and then there's the Dark Angel and... (Kay: ALRIGHT DAN! Let them... Let them read. Dan: But I didn't say too much, did I? Kay: Oh No, you didn't say too much. You said waaaayyyy too much. Nice rhyming though. Dan: Thank you.) Sooooooooo... Read and Enjoy!
