A children's mystery adventure. When Stella and her younger brother, Tom, move to their new London home, they become mystified by the disappearances of Harry, their elderly neighbour's dog. Where does he go? And why does he keep reappearing wet-through? Their quest to solve the riddle over the summer holidays soon leads to a boat buried under a grassy mound - and a tunnel that takes them to a secret lake. Who is the boy rowing towards them? Why is he so terrified? And whose are those children's voices carried on the wind from beyond the woods? Stella and Tom soon discover that they have travelled back in time to their home and its gardens almost 100 years earlier. Here they make both friends and enemies, and soon find themselves in deeper trouble than they ever could have imagined.

The Secret Lake
By Karen Inglis
From the moment I saw the cover I couldn't take my eyes off it because I wanted to know more about the characters. Emma was one of my favourites because she is very sweet and a loyal friend to Stella. However, I liked Jack too because he talked in a funny cockney language.
This book is a time-travel mystery, adventure and thriller. It is a mystery because they don't know where Harry has disappeared to. It is an adventure because they are trying to discover where Harry has gone. It is time-travel because they go back to a hundred years ago and it is a thriller because everybody is everybody!
The chapters were short and very appealing to read. Each chapter drew you on to the next one. It was an imaginative story which made me want to read more. It was easy to understand her writing.
There were many twists and turns along the way. I predicted some events but most were wrong. This is what kept me interested in the book.
I would recommend "The Secret Lake" to boys and girls aged 7 and up. I would award this book 4 stars out of 5 because although I enjoyed it I have read better stories.

Just where does Harry, the dog next door, go? And why does he come back wet? Siblings Stella and Tom set out to solve the mystery. They find a secret lake, and a terrified boy - and then hear children's voices. And whose are those children's voices carried on the wind from beyond the woods? The children have travelled 100 years back in time, to their house and garden as it was. Friendship and emnities are formed in this exciting story, perfect for girls and boys. Mystery, adventure and time travel combine in a story which captures the reader's imagination. The story incorporates unexpected twists and turns which engage the reader and sustain interest in the book. I review many books for schools and I think this would make a great class reader.

Great story,
I love time travel stories like this, there should be more like it. All the rest seem to be about time travel romance. It took what is essentially a children's book to come up with a real good one.
