Camp Twin Tails by Forest-Hummingbird

Marina and her twin brother Calder never wanted to be going to summer camp. Let alone some stupid camp named after twins. The whole thing was their mom's idea, Marina hoped it was a joke. She would much rather spend her time in their quiet lakeside home, instead of in an old cabin surrounded by yelling children. But there's something fishy about the camp directors Mr. Billie and Ms. Iris, and it's not just the large Queen Lake on the camp's property. Ghost stories here are all too real for Marina's liking. And the forbidden graveyard just passed the camp's boundaries makes them that much more believable. When paranormal things start happening--the kind straight out of a movie--Marina and Calder decide to find out for themselves what exactly is going on at Camp Twin Tails, and they're not the only curious new arrivals at camp. Can a bunch of kids really hope to solve a decade old mystery?
