Gone Away Lake by Elizabeth Enright


Not my favorite, it was alright. Writing for children's book in the 50's is different then now.  Some cultural references that could be considered not appropriate.  There are also some terms that are old fashion that modern students may not understand such as jack knife, button hook.  FYI button hook is for old fashion shoes were fasten by buttons and need a tool to do that.  I would pass on this one.  It would be fine for parents to read to children.
