When Sukie and her family move into their elderly cousin's spooky Victorian mansion, ancestral pirate ghosts direct her and her friends on a treasure hunt in the Poe Annex at the New-York Circulating Material Repository. Initial ghost-story eeriness gives way to generic pirate-genre adventure, but younger-teen fans of companions The Grimm Legacy and The Wells Bequest will appreciate new insights into the Repository.
