As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

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.
