Meranda and the Legend of the Lake

A pleasant and intriguing story that I wanted to finish to the end. Probably 3.5 starts. It captures the imagination. It takes a while for the story to fully build and then it is over quickly, but that's about par for the course for this genre of literature. It is not a book that teaches a clear lesson (except maybe that we should communicate with each other better), but it is an engaging read that let's you forget worldly troubles and often that is all that I want.
