Oh, I really liked it. 
It's middlegrade-ish or on the younger side of young adult, so you can't expect too much. There is not much depth to the characters or the plot, but I still enjoyed it a lot. 
Set in a small coastal town there is an old mansion, a statue garden, a lighthouse with a mysterious keeper, a shipwreck, a mysterious tragedy in the past, a little magic and lots of fog. I would have loved this as a kid! Such an atmospheric book with spooky vibes.
