Why read it?

1 author picked Treasure in the Lake as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Iris and her best friend Sam are your average bored middle schoolers. One day, they discover a river that’s gone dry and a hidden city that’s re-emerged. I’ve always been fascinated by “ghost towns” that were submerged in lakes. This book has it all: mystery, fantasy, adventure, and a strong message about friendship.

The art is stunning, with a soft palette of blues and purples. The little hints hidden in the art really add to the book.
