About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts questioning the unspoken rules of their community or expresses a deep curiosity about the hidden history of the places they inhabit. Below is an atmospheric mystery centered on Cassie, a twelve-year-old living in a town built right on the edge of a man-made lake that submerged an entire village. As Cassie begins taking forbidden swims into the depths with her classmate Liam, she discovers that the water hides more than just old buildings. The story beautifully navigates themes of loneliness, the weight of secrets, and the transition from childhood innocence to a more complex understanding of the adult world. It is perfectly suited for middle-grade readers (ages 8 to 12) who appreciate quiet, reflective stories with a touch of eerie suspense and a strong sense of place.
