Rise, the ocean rise, Rise and greet the shore, With red and bread, he feeds on the dead, And meets you at the door. Twelve-year-old identical twins Peter and Kai are spending the summer in the town of Seaspire when ancient legends quickly pit the boys against a furious sea creature with the power to destroy worlds and sink cities. To prevent it from drowning the entire town of Seaspire, they'll have to solve a set of codes and puzzles with ties to the lost city of Atlantis.

Idlewood Manor has been uninhabited for decades, until now . . . Math whiz Charlie won admission in a puzzle contest — and he’s intrigued by the strange numbers he finds on Idlewood’s walls. His restless sister Anna had to be dragged to the house — but then she discovers its hidden floor. Emily’s parents brought her to the mansion on a secret mission — and she’s determined to prove herself to them. All three kids soon unlock clues to Idlewood’s mysterious past and the famous female explorer who’s connected to it — and the secret treasure she left behind. But the adults around them are also hunting for the treasure. Charlie, Anna, and Emily will have to overcome their differences and work as a team to solve Idlewood’s puzzles before it's too late.
