For fans of Small Spaces, Doll Bones, and Mary Downing Hahn, a truly chilling (and historically inspired) ghost story from the award-winning author of The Forgotten Girl. Celeste knows she should be excited to spend two weeks at her grandparents' lake house with her brother, Owen, and their cousins Capri and Daisy, but she's not. Bugs, bad cell reception, and the dark waters of the lake... no thanks. On top of that, she just failed her swim test and hates being in the water -it's terrifying. But her grandparents are strong believers in their family knowing how to swim, especially having grown up during a time of segregation at public pools. And soon strange things start happening -the sound of footsteps overhead late at night. A flickering light in the attic window. And Celete's cousins start accusing her of pranking them when she's been no where near them! Things at the old house only get spookier until one evening when Celeste looks in the steamy mirror after a shower and sees her face, but twisted, different...Who is the girl in the mirror? And what does she want? Past and present mingle in this spine-tingling ghost story by award-winning author India Hill Brown.

Great And Atmospheric

I really enjoyed this authors debut novel and was not disappointed with the second did not disappoint. I loved the scarier aspects and how the scenes were built up. It had a satisfying ending that's wasn't too scary which made sense because of the age range. But don't let that deter you the ride is still worth it.

Just the Right Amount of Spooky!

I listened to the audiobook of The Girl in the Lake and I enjoyed it so much! The narrator was fantastic. Some scenes were incredibly creepy and made me break out in actual goosebumps. I'm sure kids will love this spooky story, too. I also appreciated how the author weaved actual history into the plot about how racism and segregation prevented Black families from learning how to swim and the impact of that over generations.
