YAOrca Soundings series.
A boy who can't quite shake the memory (or guilt) of seeing his little brother drown lands himself in a dangerous situation after he takes a job at a sketchy wilderness resort. A great amount of exposition and a two-dimensional villain weaken this otherwise intriguing hi-lo novel appropriate mostly for reluctant readers specifically looking for ghost stories.
