BelowAlso called: Surface Tension (Australia)
By: Meg McKinlay Genres: Adventure and Mystery For Ages: 8 - 11 The Mayor flipped the lever on the day Cassie was born. Everyone cheered as they watched their old lives drown. Although Cassie, now 12, wasn't born to see it, she and her classmate Liam can't understand how you can drown a town and call it over. They feel drawn to the lake (the drowned town). As summer comes around the lake is starting to show some of its secrets, and Cassie and Liam are soon discovering things that were left to lie beneath the surface. Can they bring themselves to tell of their suspicions? Do they dare? I found Below quite slow but yet intriguing so I kept reading, and halfway through it started to pick up the pace. I thought it was a rather quiet novel with many unique characters. This book is like no other, and is the perfect cool down before bed. I would rate this book: Good Read 3.5 Stars * * * .5 |
