When Stella and her younger brother, Tom, move to their new London home, they become mystified by the disappearances of Harry, their elderly neighbour's small dog. Where does he go? And why does he keep reappearing wet-through? 

Their quest to solve the riddle over the summer holidays leads to a boat buried under a grassy mound - and a tunnel that takes them to a secret lake. Soon they discover that they have travelled back in time to their home and the children living there 100 years earlier. Here they make both friends and enemies, and uncover startling connections between the past and present.

The Secret Lake has been described as a modern-day Enid Blyton or Tom's Midnight Garden and compared in atmosphere with The Secret Garden.  I'll be posting more of the early chapters over the next couple of weeks. If you can't wait, you can order it online in print or for Kindle/Phone/Tablet - just search Karen Inglis or The Secret Lake :)
