Gone-Away Lake

Gone-Away Lake by Elizabeth Enright is a lovely read / listen for all ages.

Portia and her younger brother, Foster, visit their cousin Julian every summer. This summer Julian has moved to the country.

Portia and Julian explore and find a row of Victorian houses bordering on a swamp. It’s a former resort, occupied by an older, eccentric pair of siblings.

That begins a magical summer enjoying their new friends.

Highly recommended.
