Stress worsens 12-year-old Evey's speech disorder. And yet, the fate of a seemingly supernatural power rests on her ability to talk her way out of a jam. Evey never expected to have an adventure at her grandpa's Door County, Wisconsin lake house. But when a small crystal-a gift from her deceased grandma-gives her a vision of a shadowy man on a stormy beach, she dives into an old mystery about a peculiar pirate's "treasure." Evey teams up with a history professor and her rambling, badminton-obsessed friend, Archer, to dig up evidence that the "treasure" may be a secret far more valuable than money. But the closer Evey moves to the truth, the more confusing her visions-or memories-become. And she is not the only one searching. A rival group of kids stalks her every move. With her crew of allies and a sailboat at the ready, Evey must learn to accept her speech disorder before she can unravel the mystery.
