A lost dog, a hidden time tunnel and a secret lake take Stella and
Tom to their home and the children living there 100 years in the
past. A page-turning time travel adventure for children aged 8-11.
Now enjoyed by over 250,000 young readers! 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 uncover startling connections between
the past and present. The Secret Lake has been described by readers
as a modern Tom's Midnight Garden and compared in atmosphere with
The Secret Garden and the Enid Blyton and Nancy Drew mystery
adventure stories. Its page-turning plot, with its many twists and
turns, makes it a firm favourite with both boys and girls. Karen
Inglis describes it as: "a time travel mystery adventure with
modern twists - the kind of story that I loved to read as a child,
but brought right up to date".
Another page-turning time travel adventure for ages 8-12 set
between 1900s and present-day London. The long-awaited sequel to
the international best-seller The Secret Lake. Almost a year has
passed since Stella and Tom discovered a time tunnel and travelled
to early 1900s London, where they befriended Emma, Lucy and Jack.
The magical moles that made the tunnel and secret lake appear have
since vanished, but the children are longing to meet again. Then an
illness, which leaves Emma's life in danger, changes everything.
The moles reappear, and Lucy realises the only hope of finding a
cure lies in the future. So unfolds a thrilling tale of time
travel, rekindled friendships and new threats that no one could
have foreseen... The original Secret Lake mystery adventure has now
been enjoyed by almost half a million young readers and is in
translation around the world. This sequel does not disappoint!
