Diana Hamblin - The Secret of Lizard Lake - Childrens novel

"A little blue cottage at the edge of Lizard Lake is the only home nine-year-old Hana Ito has ever known. From her window she thoughtfully observes the world around her, but her "Save the Planet" attitude has created a rift between her and her eleven year old brother, Reo, who insists she is simply and utterly weird

When a peculiar family of six moves into the old abandoned cottage next door, Hana learns they are keeping a shocking secret, one she will never forget. Despite the strange truth she uncovers, Hana develops a close friendship with the new neighbors daughter, Amber, who is also nine. What gradually unfolds is the real reason the Dorsals have come to Lizard Lake. This sends the girls on a quest to solve a puzzling mystery; one that will require not only the help of her annoying brother, but that of the entire town."
