![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The fact my daughters read through it twice in such quick succession and keeps referring to Sam and Aurelia is testament to that.Īll in all, I cannot recommend this book enough. I’ve read parts of it myself… or rather my daughter has read parts to me (mostly her favourite bits) including the twist at the tail end of the story (sorry, obligatory pun had to be included) and it’s obvious that the author knows how to craft a compelling story. I know how difficult it can be at that age, so it means a lot to me, knowing my daughter is reading books with a strong attachment to camaraderie and an emphasis on building positive relationships. In less than a week she had finished it and she has just completed her second read-through (which if you have a teenager, you will know is somewhat of miracle!) Outside of the magic elements (which she adored) and the, in her words, “beautiful mystery” of the story, she really seemed to gravitate towards the idea of friendship in the book.Īs a father, I really appreciate this element too. She has shown a real interest in reading over the last year, so I wanted to get something that would not only encourage her to continue, but that would also appeal to her. ![]() Recently my daughter has become completely infatuated with magic and fantasy, in particular, mermaids and the idea that they exist in the real world. Buying gifts for a 13-year-old is tricky at the best of times, let alone Christmas, but The Secret of Moon Lake helped me out enormously. ![]()
