Before I begin my review, I need to thank long-time reader of my blog, Heather aka Proud Mama for mentioning Gone Away Lake by Elizabeth Enright in a comment on my article How to Choose Age Appropriate Books for Advanced Readers.

Gone-Away Lake has to be among my top favorite middle-grade novels of all time. Just the idea of coming across an abandoned clutch of summer houses sets my heart aflutter. My sisters and I devoured all of Enright's books--we especially liked The Saturdays. Glad to see they're still a hit.
I would have given ANYTHING to have known about and read these books as a kid - they have to be the most magical books without magic in them EVER! I'm jealous of you and your sister - but happy to know all her books are great. I'll add The Saturdays to my pile!
