Bird Lake Moon by Kevin Henkes


I listened to this book and the narrator did a great job of giving the characters a believable voice. I found this story to be sad and heartwarming at the same time.

from Amazon:
Mitch Sinclair, 12, is at Bird Moon Lake because his parents are divorcing. But there are tense moments with his grandparents, so Mitch fantasizes about moving into the empty house next door. Then Spencer Stone and his family, who own the cottage, arrive. Spencer and younger sister love the lake, but it’s also the place where their barely remembered brother, Matty, drowned at age four. Told in overlapping chapters, the story is spare. Mitch tricks Spencer into thinking Matty is haunting them; then he does something worse. After the boys become friends, the truth becomes both barrier and bridge.

Happy Reading! If you read Bird Lake Moon, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it! :)
