Return to Secret Lake

 Back to books after a very screen centred last few years and reading which difficulties aside I do actually enjoy.

A few years back I write about a time tunnel story set in Edwardian London by Karen Inglish called The Secret Lake.

After a while and mulling it over, the authoress wrote a sequel, not any old pot boiler of one that builds upon the original story while keeping the charm in.

In this new offering that was published last year, we see Lucy come forward in time in search of a cure for Emma who has fallen dangerously ill. Of course, things are never straightforward where time tunnels and magical moles are concerned — and so unfolds a thrilling tale of time travel, rekindled friendships and new threats that no one could have foreseen.

The mixture of historical facts and interests mingling with the realities of time travel makes for a page by page gripping story for junior readers like me that is easy to rea without assistance.

That was a great Christmas present!
