With insight and tenderness, award-winning author Diane Stanley paints an intriguing and thought-provoking picture of a place that embodies everything perfect about a childhood summer, and the secrets, friendships, and love that can be discovered there.

The time by the lake is everything perfect about a childhood summer. And maybe, these nights also hold the answers Max is looking for . . .

To get Max and Rosie’s minds off their mother’s mysterious disappearance, their grandmother suggests that they visit the old log cabin where their mom spent her summers as a child. That first night in the cabin, Max and Rosie share an identical dream of new friends, sunshine, and play. Only . . . it may be more than a dream.

As Max slowly grasps what is really going on, he wonders if he might have found the key to the mystery of his mother’s disappearance—and how to bring her safely home.

Hand this classic-feeling middle grade standalone to readers who love mystery, friendships, and a touch of magic in novels by Rebecca Stead and Laurel Snyder.
