OverviewTwelve year old Kayleigh is disappointed to learn that her last week of summer vacation would be spent in a crumbling old house on Long Island , while her mother and grandmother (Oma) help her great-grandparents keep their pre-Revolutionary War home from foreclosure. Summer is nearly over. The promised pet never materialized and she would be missing the reunions of her friends coming home from camp. How can moms be so clueless? Disappointment turns into adventure, though, after her brother, Connor, uncovers the forgotten grave of King, the legendary spy dog. The two children form a detective agency, and with the help of a new found friend set out on a quest to find King's ghost and to answer these questions: Are ghosts real? Can walls talk? And if they could, What would they say? Their adventure takes them through the historic villages of Stony Brook, Setauket, Old Field and Port Jefferson as they learn about the British Occupation of Long Island during the Revolutionary War, George Washington's Culper Spies, their own ancestor's heroism, and what it means to be brave.This book contains 26 illustrations, including a recipe for invisible ink, a sample of Benjamin Tallmadge's secret code, and Kayleigh's notebook which lists the who's who in the book and the many lovely, historical or haunted places the children explored.
