This middle grade mystery was a fun read. My daughter asked me to read it because she thought I would like it and she was right. It is a story about family, ancestry, and overcoming fears. It is set in a 1960s North Carolina lake community where four cousins visit their grandparents over summer vacation and strange things begin to happen. Full of cousin love! Celeste, Owen, Daisy and Capri learn about each other and about conquering their fears. One fear is the fear of swimming, and India Brown does a wonderful job of braiding in a historical backdrop dealing with the prejudice, discrimination and racism associated with swimming and the use of pools, as well as the effects of that battlefront upon later generations. She does a wonderful job of presenting the entire ordeal and explaining it in relatable, understandable terms.
