What a great little mystery this book is. Cassie was the first baby born on the day that the mayor of the town flipped a switch and intentionally flooded the old town of Old Lower Grange, making way for New Lower Grange. Even though she never knew the old town she is drawn to the mystery of the town that lies beneath it. Because Cassie was born prematurely, she has to swim everyday to build up her weak lungs. She usually goes to a pool, but recently has been drawn to the forbidden lake to swim her laps. As her and her friend secretly meet to swim, they begin to discover some secrets that someone in the town has hoped to hide. I really enjoyed this book. It is set in an Australian town and it was fun to think that you could go swimming during your Christmas break. You couldn't do this is Nebraska!!
