The environmental activism of Hoot meets the summer friendship of
Lemons in this heartfelt story about community, conservation, and
standing up for the things you love.
Annalise Oliver's family has owned and run lakeside cabins in Renn Lake,
Wisconsin, for generations. This summer, she gets to help out while her
younger sister focuses on being an actress and her best friend is
babysitting rambunctious twin boys. It's the perfect opportunity for
Annalise to work and spend more time by her beloved lake.
When she was three years old, Annalise discovered that she could sense
what Renn Lake was thinking and feeling. Now, at twelve, she still turns
to Renn for comfort. But when a small patch of algae quickly becomes a
harmful bloom, Annalise can no longer hear Renn, and the lake is closed.
She and her friends must find a way to save the lake.
Writing from the perspectives of both the lake and Annalise, acclaimed
author Michele Weber Hurwitz tells a sensitive and heartfelt story about
community, activism, and fighting for the things you love.
