Books with title Sea-Hawk, The

Creeping around graveyards and digging up dead bodies during the witching hour is not Dustin’s idea of a summer vacation. Neither is getting punched, pranked and humiliated by the school bully, or chasing after a hawk and a missing girl from his neighborhood for that matter. But he can't resist the temptation to investigate the town’s latest mystery. He's obsessed. A mysterious map, an intelligent hawk, a suspicious, creepy janitor, and a note written in crayon deepens his drive to find Brooke Willabee—a local girl who is kidnapped in broad daylight with her mom standing just inches away. This is something he simply cannot ignore. There’s also something he won’t admit. Like a typical teenage boy, Dustin Baker is falling in love for the first time. It’s the summer of 1977. Dustin and his friends take the field for their first game of baseball. Shortly after the first pitch, a hawk swoops down from the heavens and delivers a distress note from Brooke along with a map to her whereabouts. With evidence in hand, they first consider taking the note to the police. But would the authorities believe their story? An SOS letter written in red crayon and delivered by a hawk seems like something right out of a fantasy fiction novel. The letter itself looks like the work of a first grader, not a teenager. Most of all, it could have been someone’s idea of a practical joke. The logical decision, at least in their opinion, is to take matters into their own hands. Let the investigations begin! There’s a body buried behind old man Claridge’s place, a girl in a yellow house drawn on the map, and a sinister creepy janitor from their school with a mysterious figure in his car. Could it be Brooke? After another disappearance, Dustin and friends form the Hawk Squad to quickly solve a mystery that is closer to home than they think.
