This Audiofy audiobook chip packs Colleen Delaney's full 5 hour reading of "Return To Gone-Away Lake" on a tiny memory card. A single Audiofy audiobook chip, hardly larger than a stamp, holds a complete digital audiobook, and saves the last listening position automatically, unlike CDs. With an SD memory card slot or low-cost adapter - like those for digital cameras - this Audiofy audiobook chip can be played on Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh desktop computers or laptops (Microsoft Windows XP/2000/Me/98, or Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above) or transferred to Apple iPod media players. Audiobook chips also move seamlessly to most Palm OS and Pocket PC handheld PDAs with SD expansion slots, as well as Treo and Windows Mobile "smartphones" (Palm OS 5.2 or Windows Mobile 2002 and above)... Return with Portia and her younger brother, Foster, and cousin, Julian, as they re-discover an abandoned summer resort, consisting of deserted crumbling Victorian summer homes surrounding a vanished lake, which is now a swamp. The three intrepid explorers search for hidden treasure as layers of history are revealed! In 1957 the book received the New York Herald Tribune's children's Spring Book Festival Award. It was also a 1958 Newbery Honor Book. In 1963, the American Library Association named Gone Away Lake as the U.S. nominee for the Hans Christian Anderson Award.

"A brilliance and a humor that make it seem as if it were happening right this minute." - The New York Times Book Review. "Flawlessly recorded and wonderfully enhanced by the narrative storytelling skills of Colleen Delaney." - Children's Bookwatch.
