The rock sticking up out of the sea is always in Arlene’s face ever since her father has moved to coastal Oregon to work for Parks and Recreation and post signs about tsunamis. She keeps on having nightmares about the rock. Now she hears that there is a curse associated with it. Long ago some pirates buried a treasure there. That must account for why she constantly sees people swimming out to it and prowling around it. Even worse, a beach bum named Noah hangs around it. Then he starts coming after her. Is Noah a pirate himself? What does he really want? His very name means a wanderer on the seas. Arlene had better figure it out soon or she will end up as dead as the bones reputed to be buried in the rock.
