People talk about the place on the lake. They say it's haunted. The Fearless Three think that's just town gossip. But when Liz, Mack, and Cage are asked to debunk the scary tale, they discover that the fictitious story might just be fact! As the adventure unfolds, striving readers practice decoding words featuring soft c and soft g sounds, as well as inflectional verb endings -ed and -ing. Every Spark Decodables book serves older readers who need practice with foundational literacy skills, combining multiple aspects of the Science of Reading to support small group instruction, independent reading, and reading practice at home.
