The Girl in the Lake
by India Hill Brown
emotional
informative
mysterious
tense
fast-paced
I was given a digital copy of this title, free. All opinions are my own.
This is Brown's sophomore novel, and this one is stronger than the first one. It's about so much more than a girl learning how to swim. It's about facing your fears. No better way to work through your fears the confronting your great aunt's ghost. The historical truth about black people and swimming are nicely woven into the story. The tension is perfectly taut - you're really not sure if the ghost is just playing to out to do real harm. I love the fact that Celeste finds her voice, stands up for herself and figures everything out. This is a great children's ghost story. This is perfect for young readers who are interested in horror or who are just beginning in the genre.
