The Girl in the Lake
The Girl in the Lake | India Hill Brown
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
For fans of Small Spaces, Doll Bones, and Mary Downing Hahn, a truly chilling (and historically inspired) ghost story from the talented author of The Forgotten Girl. Celeste knows she should be excited to spend two weeks at her grandparents' lake house with her brother, Owen, and their cousins Capri and Daisy, but she's not. Bugs, bad cell reception, and the dark waters of the lake... no thanks. On top of that, she just failed her swim test and hates being in the water—it's terrifying. But her grandparents are strong believers in their family knowing how to swim, especially having grown up during a time of segregation at public pools. And soon strange things start happening—the sound of footsteps overhead late at night. A flickering light in the attic window. And Celete's cousins start accusing her of pranking them when she's been no where near them! Things at the old house only get spookier until one evening when Celeste looks in the steamy mirror after a shower and sees her face, but twisted, different... Who is the girl in the mirror? And what does she want? Past and present mingle in this spine-tingling ghost story by award-winning author India Hill Brown.

In the vein of Mary Downing Hahn (but not quite as creepy), comes a story that becomes unsettling. Celeste is going to spend two weeks at her grandparents' lake house with her brother, Owen, and their cousins Capri and Daisy. Right away things are ‘off‘ - lights turn on and off, the old house seems to sigh and whisper, and Celeste sees her dead aunt‘s creepy face in the mirror…

I FINALLY finished a book this month! This was a mildly creepy middle grade horror novel with big lessons on racism and facing your fears. Well-written and engaging, it‘s perfectly narrated by Bahni Turpin.
