They also uncover some startling connections between the past and present…. As the story unravels the children make both friends and enemies and become embroiled in a daring rescue plan. Who is the boy rowing towards them who looks so terrified? And whose are those children’s voices carried on the wind from beyond the trees? Stella and Tom soon discover that they have travelled back in time to their home and its shared gardens 100 years in the past where they meet the children living there. The Secret Lake is a ‘time-slip’ mystery adventure, set in one of London’s Notting Hill communal garden squares, in which Stella and Tom, when trying to find their elderly neighbour’s missing dog, discover a tunnel that leads to a secret lake.
“…a book that can be appreciated by both boys and girls alike… short, gripping chapters that lead you swiftly on through an absorbing tale of mystery and suspense.” Louise Jordan: London-based children’s books literary consultant and ex Head Reader at Puffin UK By Karen Inglis, for The Children’s Book Review
