About the story

Mitch is 12 and has to spend his summer at Bird Moon Lake, because his parents are getting divorced. 10-year-old Spencer is visiting his family cabin at Bird Moon Lake for the first time since his older brother Matty drowned in the lake 8 years earlier. Both boys are dealing with a lot, but to add to that, Mitch does some things that make Spencer think the cabin is haunted. Will their new friendship be able to withstand Mitch's deception?

My opinion

Mitch and Spencer are both great characters that evolve as people, because of the emotional turmoil they experience while at the lake. This is a well written story that I would recommend.
