Life at the Lake
Joanne Ashley
Paperback
(PublishAmerica, Jan. 10, 2005)
Set by a beautiful lake in a housing development, Life at the Lake tells the gentle and easy-to-read story of the many different animals who live in or around the lake. As the story unfolds, each character has an adventure, often risking his or her own life to save a friend's life. The animals' personalities and skills help them get through the tasks before them, but they all pull together in the final chapter when they are faced with a tremendous storm. Sometimes coming in contact with the humans, whom they refer to as Two Feet, the animals are often wary of them. However, they tolerate them, often outfoxing them and using them to catch a meal! Life at the Lake will make you happy, sad, excited, and maybe even make you laugh, but most of all, you will be cheering for the animals.
