Synopsis/Details
Flintridge, Massachusetts, is a postcard-perfect New England town steeped in Revolutionary War history. But its most famous legend—a boy named William Cabot who vanished while delivering a message during the Battle of Flintlock Hill—turns out to be more than a myth when 14-year-old history buff Oliver Adams encounters William’s ghost. Determined to help the spirit complete his unfinished business, Oliver and his friends—fearless Ella, tech-savvy Theo, and reluctant ally Roderick—embark on a thrilling adventure to uncover the truth. Along the way, they unearth a centuries-old betrayal tied to William’s murder and the hidden role of Roderick’s own family in covering it up. With time running out before the veil between worlds closes forever, the group must navigate ghostly mysteries, dangerous truths, and their own fears to ensure that William’s story is finally told—and that history remembers the cost of honor. NOTE: The Ghost of Flintlock Hill is a timely historical adventure as the United States approaches its 250th Anniversary in 2026, making it the perfect story to celebrate the nation’s past in a thrilling and heartfelt way.
