The Secret Lake

I am seven years old. I study in DUBAI and I read your book the secret lake. I loved it so much. I finished the full book in two days. I give it five stars. My favorite part is when Stella found the time tunnel. The only thing I found in my garden is insects and spiders… Eewww! I wish I was Stella and I could go back in time and celebrate my seventh birthday again. I have a question why is Stella on her iPhone so often? Thank you for writing this fantastic book. I just loved all the mystery and I can’t wait to read. Return to the secret lake.

My 8 year old daughter enjoyed it. She read it just a few weeks after we watched Back to the future series on Prime Video, so when she told me what the story was, she started with “it was just like Back to the future”.

Imagine, being with your younger sibling just playing in the forest and finding a secret lake, going through a tunnel to climb a ladder leading you to travel back in time. Well, that's exactly what happens in “The Secret Lake” By Karen Inglis. A common theme throughout the whole book is to never talk to strangers. This is shown when they find this old lady and talk to her then the old lady attempts to poison them. This also occurs when they find a guy who turned out to be extremely rude to them. This book is about how siblings explore around their garden and then find a lake in the forest, they find a time traveling tunnel and they go inside it and are taken back 100 years in the past. Tom and Stella found the secret lake; they thought it was beautiful because it was surrounded by crimson pink flowering bushes, stretching away in front of them. This book would appeal to people who enjoy the Sci-Fi genre, as it shows time travel, super power, myths, and a theme of multiple lives. Some good parts of the book are when they find the lake and when they meet a nice guy and he talks weirdly. Some areas where the book could improve on is adding more background knowledge on the kids at some point. I appreciated how the author made it realistic like the details when the people spoke. It was a good read because it had good writing and also good personalities for the characters that made it more interesting. My overall opinion is that this was a very good book. I recommend this book as it piques your interest while reading about the journey of Tom and Stella.It’s always fun to read books about adventures and time travel. Learning about history can be fun and in this book it places you into a different time and provides a different perspective. Afterall, if you don't learn something new every day, its a wasted day.

Todo genial, buena letra

I'm reading the book and I find it quite fun. Once I am finished I will encourage my granddaughter to read it. The print is on the small size and if it were a bit larger it would be much better for children to read. With some children, having to read a whole page in shorter time gives satisfaction in reading.

Preso per esercitarmi per il mio inglese, è un libro per bambini quindi usano termini facili e anche se non si sanno tutte le parole si riesce a comprendere la storia perfettamente.
