About Wonders of Shadow Key
In storm-ravaged Florida where hurricanes are weekly events, Eleanor escapes with her family to an abandoned beach town on Shadow Key after a storm destroys her school. There, she stumbles upon an eerie discovery—a small colony of ghosts. Each has a peculiar story: a homesick pirate, the mysterious Nameless Mute Gentleman, and The Fabulous Singing Siren Sisters.

But the ghosts are in danger. Tentacled sea monsters called Oldies are stalking their souls, and with rising sea levels and more storms on the way, the ghosts' time is running out. As a terrifying new storm approaches, Eleanor must rescue a ghost lost at sea and save her friends from the Oldies in a storm-chased battle of song and ultimately unlock her confidence . This is a quirky, suspenseful tale of one girl's fight to use her voice for good and overcome loneliness and isolation.

Praise for Wonders of Shadow Key
"...the most delightful surreal semi-apocalyptic middle-grade novel you'll read this year. Part Coraline, part Ray Bradbury, with a dash of Lovecraft, this book delivers just the right mix of spooky mystery and more subtle horrors—like family vacations, friends moving away, and online school. JJ Fleming serves up colorful ghosts and eldritch terrors with a lot of heart and a clever sense of humor."
— Jude Atwood, author of Maybe There Are Witches
