Ghosts, pirates and tales of the South make history once again come alive for the Johnson family as they explore Savannah, Charleston and Pawleys Island, South Carolina -- all areas rich in history and ghost stories. Seen through the eyes of 14-year-old Joey, 10-year-old Bobby and 5-year-old Katy, they learn about the challenges of the early settlers, the boldness of greedy pirates, and the determination of feisty women who helped save the architectural heritage of these historic Southern towns. Along the way they hear the traditional ghost stories of those areas, and even one of them has a close encounter with the famous Grey Man of Pawleys Island. Young readers won't know they're learning history as they read this book; they'll only know they're having fun as they follow these kids on their latest adventure.
