Skinny-Dipping at Monster Lake

By Bill Wallace

Book Overview

Kent doesn't believe in monsters. But he knows he saw two gleaming yellow eyes beneath the surface of Cedar Lake when he and his buddies were camping at the lake. When he sneaks out alone a few nights later to investigate, the eyes return -- and they seem to be following him. Kent and his friends are determined to solve the mystery of the Cedar Lake monster. But what they discover one dark summer night is just as surprising as a monster -- and just as dangerous.

Great for Lake Folks and Summer Cottagers

This is a great book for early teenagers and some preteens. An excellent mystery to fill up cold winter days and rainy weekdays during the summer. Especially fine for those kids who have a pony or horses available to them. Everyone has a neighbor who is "chronologically challenged" [old] they really don't know very well; this book tintilates the desires of every preadolescent guy while at the same time teaching the value of loving parents, family cooperation and responsibility for our neighbors.

A Really Awesome Review

I liked the book because it's funny and has a very weird twist at the end. Kent thinks the monster is real, but turns out it's not. When he and his friends fish they see headlights (A.K.A the eyes.) When one of the smartest kids in the group finds out that there's a sub in the lake they go for help. But my favorite part is when they skinny dip in the lake and their friends call them "cottontails".
