Gone-Away Lake

---

Gone-Away Lake by Elizabeth Enright is a classic children’s novel that blends adventure, discovery, and the charm of summer exploration. The story follows cousins Portia and Julian, who stumble upon an abandoned Victorian resort community near a swampy lake. There, they meet two elderly siblings, Minnehaha Cheever and Pindar Payton, who have chosen to live in the deserted houses of the once-bustling summer colony. As the children spend their vacation exploring the ruins and listening to the old inhabitants’ stories, they uncover a world of history, friendship, and imagination. With its mix of mystery, nostalgia, and youthful curiosity, the novel celebrates the joy of discovery and the bonds between generations.
