Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Annalise has a unique bond with Renn Lake, her family's cherished retreat in Wisconsin. But when a toxic algae bloom silences the lake's voice, Annalise and her friends must rally to save it. Can they uncover the mystery behind the bloom and restore the lake's health before it's too late? Dive into a tale of friendship, courage, and environmental activism as Annalise fights for the place she loves most.

From the publisher

The environmental activism of Hoot meets the summer friendship of Lemons in this heartfelt story about community, conservation, and standing up for the things you love. Annalise Oliver’s family has owned and run lakeside cabins in Renn Lake, Wisconsin, for generations. When she was three years old, Annalise discovered that she could sense what Renn Lake was thinking and feeling. Now, at twelve, she still turns to Renn for comfort. But when a small patch of algae quickly becomes a harmful bloom, Annalise can no longer hear Renn, and the lake is closed. She and her friends must find a way to save the lake. Writing from the perspectives of both the lake and Annalise, acclaimed author Michele Weber Hurwitz tells a sensitive and heartfelt story about community, activism, and fighting for the things you love.
