Reviews

"The Vanishing Lake explores the timeless mysteries and magic of nature. A story that captivates the imagination with lush illustrations and humour. It feels like a modern classic." -- Fiona Woodcock, Picture Book Author & Illustrator

"Children will adore this funny and surprising mystery about a determined young girl and her inventive grandfather. Donnelly's beautiful illustrations evoke the spirit of discovery and adventure that children find in all wild places." -- Jennifer Bell, Children's Author

"The whimsical tone and lively art recall Benji Davies' The Storm Whale, and there's a constant sense of motion here;the fluid swoops of the rolling hills and luminous clouds bring vibrancy. Viewers will get a kickout of Meara's look of determination as she tries to suss out the cause of the vanishing lake, and they'll appreciate that the book carries its playful fantasy to the very end." --TheBulletinof the Center for Children's Books
