The Singing Lighthouse Book 1 in the Maggie Mooney’s Magical Mysteries Series

The lighthouse at Ember Point is singing. Nobody else can hear it, but twelve-year-old Maggie Mooney can.

Maggie is still figuring out how to belong in Bayfield when the lighthouse starts calling to her. She can’t explain the music, or the strange tugging feeling that pulls her toward the lighthouse, or the glowing coin she finds on the beach one ordinary afternoon. She just knows that something about Ember Point is alive, and that it has chosen her specifically, the new kid, the one who notices everything everyone else walks past.

But the Town Council has just voted to demolish the lighthouse by Friday. Seven days. That’s all Maggie and her best friends Diego and Felicia have to prove Ember Point is worth saving.

What starts as a summer mission becomes something none of them planned for. Hidden behind the lighthouse’s walls are ancient trials, impossible doors, and magical creatures who have been keeping Bayfield’s secrets for generations. There’s a pixie named Pip who guards the forest. A lighthouse spirit named Chyne whose song only the worthy can hear. And a mysterious librarian named Mrs. Wise who seems to know far more than any librarian should.

As Friday’s vote grows closer, Maggie begins to understand that saving the lighthouse isn’t just about preserving a building. Bayfield’s magic runs deeper than anyone knows, and it needs someone brave enough to believe in things that can’t be explained, measured, or photographed.

The lighthouse didn’t choose just anyone. It chose her.

For readers who love mysteries, magic, and the kind of friendships that make ordinary places feel extraordinary.
