YAOrca Soundings series.
As punishment for a school prank he's falsely accused of, "A-student jock superstar" Elliot is sent to clean out the old boathouse on a Friday afternoon with purple-haired goth girl Shannon. After Shannon makes a Ouija board, frightening events ensue, and the odd pair must work together to solve a murder. Some lame dialogue hampers this fast-paced, engaging mystery.
