Publisher Description

After a sailing ship breaks up on the rocks off Washington's storm-tossed Cape Flattery, Nathan MacAllister, the 14-year-old son of the lighthouse keeper, refuses to believe the authorities, who say there were no survivors. Unexplained footprints on a desolate beach, a theft at the trading post, and glimpses of a wild hairy man convince Nathan that someone is hiding in the remote sea caves along the coast. With his new friend, Lighthouse George, a fisherman from the famed Makah whaling tribe, Nathan paddles the fierce waters of the Pacific - fishing, hunting seals, searching for clues. Alone in the forest, Nathan discovers a ghostly canoe and a skeleton that may unlock this mystery of ancient treasure, betrayal and murder.

"I read Ghost Canoe by Will Hobbs December of 2010. I thought that it had some interesting parts and was an easy " Thats who it is, thats what happened" storyboard. I would recommend this book who enjoys mystery and likes young adultish books. "

    " I really liked this book at the time though now that I think about it I probably would never consider reading it again. I believe he finds a canoe in a tree and there's some mystery that revolves around it. The first time I read it in school, then I begged my mom to read it to me. "
