Bird Lake Moon by Kevin Henkes
There are ghosts at Bird Lake, and they're haunting Mitch Sinclair and Spencer Stone. Not the Halloween kind, but ghosts of the past. Memories of how life was before-before the divorce, before the accident. Can their ghosts bring Mitch and Spencer together, as friends? Or will their secrets keep them apart? Either way, it is a summer that neither Mitch nor Spencer will ever forget.
“In a novel as tender as his acclaimed Olive’s Ocean, Henkes probes the psyches of two boys facing family conflict” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Henkes knows children and their secrets, and readers will lean close to hear the whispers.” — ALA Booklist (starred review) “Superbly crafted . . . with humor and just the right amount of tension to make this a significant and highly readable book.” — School Library Journal (starred review) “This quiet, beautifully told story deals delicately but realistically with the boys’ emotions.” — Kliatt (starred review) “Henkes deftly locates Mitch’s pain and confusion, delivering a novel that’s quiet, nuanced, and redemptive.” — Kirkus Reviews “Unpretentious, spare, and timeless in the way of summers by the lake.” — The Horn Book
