Arlo Finch in the Lake of the Moon by John August
5.0
WOW! Lake of the Moon takes the Arlo Finch story into full-fledged fairytale fantasy, territory that Valley of Fire was a bit more reluctant to visit. Satisfying, full of twists and turns, and a lot of fun without getting too heavy for the age group.
August's most clever writing moments lie within August's ability to explain the illogic of magic succinctly and clearly. He also balances speaking to the middle grade age range without betraying their intelligence or ability to read between the lines, find clues for themselves, or understand social issues.
Loved it, originally bought as a gift for my nephew for long summer road trips, would recommend for kids in your life!
