Two young girls and their father move next to an abandoned lighthouse, where the girls meet a strange new friend and work together to try to solve the mysteries of Wreckers Cove.
Eisner award-winning cartoonist Liniers and writer Angelica del Campo recreate the world of 19th century lighthouse keepers in a delightful supernatural tale about ghosts and shipwrecks, inspired by the real-life story of a heroic young woman who tended an isolated Maine lighthouse many years ago. Two young sisters Cristina and Martha and their dad, move to a summer home in a small coastal town located near an old nonworking lighthouse. As the two sisters explore the beach and the old lighthouse, they encounter a friendly, albeit unusual, red-haired girl, who turns out to be a ghostly local legend with a heartbreaking story shrouded in mystery.

“We are so excited that a creative force like Papercutz is releasing our story. We hope to reach as many readers as possible. This is our first collaboration. It is weird to work with someone you live with, so drawing and ideas were passed back and forth during road trips, dinners, right before a movie, or when we woke up in the morning. We wanted to write a mystery that had elements of the supernatural, and Ricardo had told me he really wanted to draw lighthouses. When I stumbled across the figure of the woman lighthouse keeper in a history of American lighthouses, I knew that it was what the story would be about and everything grew from there. I hope that this reminds us all that women have been doing remarkable things for centuries, way before the modern concept of feminism was born.”
