I admit to knowing absolutely nothing about sailing. In fact I never meant to pick up a book about sailing, it was a complete accident. I saw that the library had a new book by Michael D. Beil author of "The Red Blazer Girls" and I decided that I had to read it. In reality the only thing that "Summer at Forsaken Lake" has in common with "The Red Blazer Girls" is that the main characters are both originally from New York City.
When twelve year old Nicholas finds out that instead of spending the summer in New York City that he is being sent to Ohio to stay with his dad's uncle he is devastated. An entire summer with no TV, no computer, and no friends what could possibly be worse?
Little did Nicholas know he would walk into a mystery that is over 30 years old and involves his father, a girl, a sailboat and some other local characters. Nicholas also learns that there is more to life than the city and that there is a lot to learn about surviving in the country. The story culminates with the surprise arrival of a very special person.
