really liked it

A really good page turner.. perfect for a summer read.
Set in 1975 at a sleep-away summer camp in the Adirondacks.
13 yr old Barbara Van Laar disappears from her cabin overnight .., the same camp that her brother Bear disappeared from many years before. Her wealthy parents own the camp as well as all the land surrounding and the huge waterfront house on the hill above the camp.
There are many characters and secondary mysteries.
I enjoyed it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Riverhead for the ARC!

K This one is on my list. I'll wait to read your review when I've read it. It sounds so good! I've read two of this author's other books, Heft and The Unseen World and enjoyed them both. I have Long Bright River on my shelf.

Melanie I’m not going to read your review yet Karen but 4 stars is promising. I loved Heft but did not like Long Bright River very much.

Fran Hawthorne I read this author's earlier novel "The Unseen World" and thought it was intriguing. Have you read it? I know it's always hard to compare books but if you can ...

Belle Have you read this author’s other books. Wondering if this is similar to one of those.
