Second Sleep
Om denne lydbog
The time by the lake is everything perfect about a childhood
summer...and maybe it also holds the answers Max needs. Give this tender middle
grade novel to readers who love the mystery, friendships, and touches of magic
in novels by Rebecca Stead and Laurel Snyder!
To get Max and Rosie’s minds off their mother’s mysterious
disappearance, their grandmother, Mozelle, suggests that they visit the old log
cabin where their mom spent her summers as a child. This is a place where, when
it gets dark, you go to bed. But according to Mozelle, their mother had her
happiest dreams during her nights at the lake.
That first night, Max and Rosie travel in their dreams to an
almost impossibly beautiful place where they meet a wonderful new group of
friends. But was it really just a dream? Or is there something extraordinary
and magical about this compound by the lake?
As Max slowly grasps what is really going on, he wonders if he
might have found the key to the mystery of his mother’s disappearance—and how to
bring her safely home.
