Emma and the Secret by the Sea

By Jane Pane

Nine-year-old Emma lives in a quiet seaside town where nothing ever seems to change. But one afternoon, she finds a strange old doll washed up on the shore - and that's when the whispers begin.

First comes the doll. Then comes the shadowy figure of a girl with empty eyes. And then the feeling that someone, or something, is trying to be heard.

As Emma follows the clues - from the silent lighthouse to the old town stories - she uncovers a forgotten truth and a voice that's waited far too long to be heard. With bravery and kindness, Emma sets out to bring peace to a lonely spirit... and maybe find a part of herself along the way.

A beautifully written ghost story for children ages 6-8, Emma and the Secret by the Sea is a tale of quiet courage, lost voices, and the magic hidden just beneath the surface.
