Danica, a small town in Florida that was formed after the Civil War, is
known for it's horrid history. What makes it worse is that the ghosts of
its founders are still around looking for old confederate gold that they
believe - if found - can bring them back to life. The Orphans (brought
together by one linking fact - they are children of dead people) are a
group of six kids with special skills. Led by Nikko - who can skip time
and also has a weird connection with the dead - the friends find the
cursed gold and have determined to keep it safe and secret. Yet they
have a fierce battle brewing ahead against the likes of dead people,
ghosts, and threats of kidnapping. People are dying in their town and
this fact forces these fifth graders to take on a mystery that might
very well make them the next victims, of the Curse of Danica.
