Reviews for The Lights Under the Lake

[Joel McKerrow · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book is MAGICAL and full of joy and adventure. Definitely one my favourite books. Not just in the series but in all the books I’ve ever read.
It is about to girl twins that go on a school trip. When disaster is peeking through holes, it decides to pull the girls in as well…

One of the things that really stood out to me in this book was that the characters were very well developed. The two main characters felt realistic, sympathetic and unique.

I encourage all girls from ages 8 - 13 to to read this series from the start,
‘Scarlet and Ivy- The Lost Twin’. I could not put this book down!
