Author Karen Inglis on what inspired The Secret Lake: 'The Secret Lake was partly inspired by an apartment some friends moved to in Notting Hill many years ago when my children were younger. Here they make both friends and enemies, and uncover startling connections with the past and present. Who is the boy rowing towards them? Why is he so terrified? And whose are those children's voices carried on the wind from beyond the woods? Stella and Tom soon discover that they have travelled back in time to their home and the children living there almost 100 years earlier.

Where does he go? And why does he keep reappearing wet-through? Their quest to solve the riddle over the summer holidays soon leads to a boat buried under a grassy mound - and a tunnel that takes them to a secret lake.
