I just finished a book called Gone Away Lake, by Elizabeth Enright. Here's a summary.
Summer has a magic all its own. So when Portia sets out for a visit with her cousin Julian, she expects fun and adventure, but of the usual kind: exploring in the woods near Julian's house, collecting stones and bugs, playing games throughout the long lazy days. But this summer was different. On their first day of exploring, Portia and Julian discover an enormous boulder with a mysterious message, a swamp choked with reeds and quick sand, and on the other far side of the swamp... a ghost town.
I liked the book because it start off creepy and ended funny. I also liked the art in this book, they were really realistic. I think this book is for kids of all ages. This book is a great summer read.
