Books with author K. Winter

Patrick, Jenny and Kristen were delighted to find their friends from last summer, Pete and Mark, already at Eagle Lake. They were no longer “sandbox kids.” Together the five would have the wit and stamina to fend off the witches and their minions, the bizarre punkchopgoons and reptile-like water orcs. Only a handful of adults were aware of these demonic creatures. That suited the kids just fine. Why worry their parents?Their friend the Old Giant, father of the Eagle Lake Giant, had given Patrick, Jenny, and Kristen each an amulet. They knew the amulets had mysterious powers, but they had not yet been able to unlock those powers. This summer the evil forces were attacking with greater determination than ever before, trying to eliminate the Eagle Lake Giant and recruit the kids to the dark side. They were getting close, too close, to success…

In their third summer vacation at their Eagle Lake cottage Patrick, Jenny, and Kristen share more adventures with their friends Pete and Mark. For the first time they meet Lati, the mysterious lady from Tichborne. But why are the witches afraid of her? How do the witches control their minions, the water orcs and punkchopgoons? What are they, and where do they come from?With the Old Giant absent, the evil forces are escalating their attacks. What does this mean for Elg, the Eagle Lake Giant, and the kids?

On the first day of their cottage holiday Patrick, Jenny, and Kristen discover strange things happening in the bush around Eagle Lake. When they rescue some trapped toads they and their friend Pete must combat the witches who had captured them. Fortunately, they meet Elg – the Eagle Lake Giant – who comes to their aid. Over the next few weeks Elg is not always around to help them. Together the kids outwit witches, battle water orcs, and escape from punkchopgoons. Most adults appear to be oblivious to the dangers, but are all of them really so unaware?
