And Edie doesn't like thinking about Dad - the memories hurt too much.When Edie uncovers a clue that could lead her to a long-lost Viking hoard, it's just the adventure she needs to take her mind off of Dad. But the adventure soon takes an unnerving and dangerous turn, as Edie discovers that Fortune Farm has more secrets, ghosts and forgotten treasures than she had ever dared to dream. Not only must Edie protect Pip from the restless and vengeful spirit of a long-dead Viking chief, she must confront the painful memories she has tried so hard to bury deep within herself.
