The Lights Under the Lake

The lake feels so alive with secrets and atmosphere — I wonder if real locations influenced the author’s choice or if it was purely imagined.

The way they work together to uncover the mystery felt genuine and heartwarming. Were there any real-life friendships the author drew inspiration from?

The story kept me guessing but also made me smile — I’m curious whether that tone was a deliberate choice to make the mystery more accessible for kids.
