Bookroo's summary
Luke and his father venture into the wilderness, leaving behind the crowded shores of a once-secret lake. Their quest for a 'lost lake' promises discovery and solitude, but what will they find in the untouched wild? As they journey deeper, the natural world reveals its many moods, challenging their bond and resolve. Will they uncover the peace they seek, or will the wilderness hold unexpected surprises? This tale of exploration and connection invites readers to embark on a journey of their own, where nature's beauty and mystery await at every turn.
From the publisher
Luke and his father, who is disgusted by the tourists surrounding the once secluded lake of his childhood, hike deeper into the wilderness to find a “lost lake” of their own. “Say’s watercolor paintings, embracing the many moods of the natural world, . . . really command attention. Readers will feel that they have been on their own journey of discovery.” – Horn Book
