β¦ Synopsis
A remarkable debut novel that takes readers on a journey of discovery, magic, science, and hope.
Twelve-year-old Addie should stay away from Maple Lake. After all, her twin brother, Amos, drowned there only a few months ago. But its crisp, clear water runs in Addieβs veins, and the notebook Amos left behind β filled with clues about a mysterious creature that lives in the lakeβs inky-blue depths β keeps calling her back.
So despite her parentsβ fears, Addie accepts a Young Scientist position studying the lake for the summer, promising sheβll stick to her job of measuring water pollution levels under adult supervision. Still, Addie canβt resist the secrets of Maple Lake. She enlists the lead researcherβs son, Tai, to help her investigate Amosβs clues. As they collect evidence, they also learn that Maple Lake is in trouble β and the source of the pollution might be close to home. Addie finds herself caught between the science she has always prized and the magic that brings her closer to her brother, and the choice she makes will change everything.
