The Shadow Keeper's Oath
The magic of Bayfield is fading. And it's chosen its next keeper.
Maggie Mooney has been many things since she moved to Bayfield: the new kid, the one who notices too much, the girl who accidentally got involved in lighthouse rescues, with ghost ships, and even a rip in time. Now she's starting sixth grade, and she's ready for things to be normal.
Then she notices the coin is cold.
And Mrs. Wise, the woman who has kept the magic of Bayfield alive for thirty years, is tired in a way that has nothing to do with sleep.
At the same time a new kid named Tyler Hartford starts a club called The Reality Club. His mission is to prove every Bayfield legend is a story made up to bring in tourists. Within a few weeks, a third of Maggie's grade is a member. And some of them are starting to look at Bayfield like it is smaller than they thought.
Maggie knows the magic. She's been there. She's seen it. But knowing something and being willing to carry it — to take an oath, to be its keeper, for the rest of her life — are completely different things. Especially when she's eleven, and there are trials, and she isn't sure she's ready. And she isn't sure she'll ever be.
The Shadow Keeper's Oath is the emotional, triumphant finale to the Maggie Mooney's Magical Mysteries series. A story about growing up, about the things we inherit, and about what it means to say yes to who you're becoming. Perfect for readers ages 8–12 who love cozy small town magic, strong girls who think before they act, and mystery that feels real even when it's magical.

The Bayfield Echo
Something is wrong with time in Bayfield. The fog is coming in three times a day. A boat that wrecked in 1923 keeps appearing in the harbor, then vanishing before anyone can reach it. And Maggie Mooney's shadow is doing things her body never told it to.
When a new family moves into the old Whitmore house — the one everyone in town pretends doesn't exist — Maggie starts to wonder if the echo she's been hearing isn't coming from the lighthouse at all. It's coming from somewhere much closer.
Can time break? Anything is possible in Bayfield.

The Northern Star
Winter has come to Bayfield, and with it something that doesn't belong. A star has appeared in the sky that isn't on any map. The local astronomy club says it's a trick of the atmosphere. The old fishermen say it's a warning. And Maggie Mooney thinks they're both a little bit right.
When strange things start happening to the animals on the island — birds flying in patterns no one has seen before, seals gathering on the rocks at midnight — Maggie and her friends know they have to figure out what the Northern Star is trying to say. Before the rest of Bayfield notices. And before whatever it's calling in arrives.

The Singing Lighthouse
Maggie Mooney didn't want to move to Bayfield. She didn't want to leave her school, her friends, or the house she'd lived in her whole life. She definitely didn't want to start fifth grade in a town so small the lighthouse was the most exciting thing in it.
But on her first night in Bayfield, the lighthouse sings.
No one else seems to think that's strange. Her mom says it's the wind. Her new neighbor says it always does that. The lighthouse keeper just smiles. But Maggie can hear words in the sound — and they seem to be meant for her.
A mystery, a new friend, a very unusual lighthouse, and one girl who notices things that other people don't. Welcome to Bayfield.
