Horn Book (Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2011)

Joey and his friends take ghostly trips back in time to experience maritime New England history in these formulaic graphic novels. The cartoon-panel illustrations, sometimes appropriately spooky, omit necessary visual details and leave confusing action gaps. Time travel adds some interest to the bland history lessons, which suffer without context or vivacity. Glos.

School is out for the summer! Tank's family has rented a cottage at Short Sands Beach in York, Maine. Now that they've all bonded after meeting some ghosts, Gil and Joey came along for the fun. York residents are well aware of the 18th-century ship that's buried beneath Short Sands Beach. Every few decades, a severe storm will uncover it, and it's happened again. Local residents know to leave the boat alone, but Tank, Gil, and Joey don't know that! While exploring the wreck, they are transported back in time and onto the sinking ship! Will the boys wash up on Short Sands Beach in the past or present?
