Summary: Gone-Away Lake
Comment: Gone-Away Lake is about a girl named Portia Blake who goes with her brother Foster to visit their cousin Julian in the country. Every summer they go to Julian and Aunt Hilda and Uncle Jake's house. Portia and Julian always go exploring outdoors. This summer is even more exciting because Julian's family moved into a new house and so they have a new place to explore. On their first day Portia and Julian discover a big rock with a mysterious message written in Latin on it. They keep walking and get lost. They come to a swamp that is choked with reeds and on the other side of it is a ghost town! Or is it really abandoned? They find out that two people live there - Mrs. Minnehaha Cheever and Mr. Pindar Payton. Why are they living all alone on this swamp? To find out why they are there and the history of the swamp, you should read this book that is very good.

Summary: A Gentle, Funny Delight
Comment: Written and set about 20 years later than the author's Melendy series, this book and its sequel prove that Enright hadn't lost her insight into juvenile character. Portia and Foster Blake head for upstate New York to visit their cousin, Julian Jarman, and his parents. Like the Melendys at the Four-Story Mistake, the Jarmans have just shifted quarters, and thereby hangs the tale: exploring the new region, Portia and Julian happen upon a former lake mostly drained by a new dam, and edged still by the crumbling remains of a community of late-Victorian summer houses. Living there are two elderly eccentrics who spent their childhood summers at the resort and inspire a season of wonderful reminiscences and adventures. This is another excellent family read-aloud with splendidly drawn characters (both children and adults). I still reread it regularly though I'm a long way from being age 9-12!
