REVIEW By LAWonder10:
Runaways of Missing Lake is the fourth book in a series but can easily be read as a "stand alone". As with all series, I am certain it would feel more complete if one had read others first. This is a mix of contemporary and fantasy. It is a story of a teenage boy, his relationships and, also, his connection with the changing world of dragons - one family in particular. This is sure to appeal to many youth. It is an interesting approach to interactions between humans and animals. It is also a story of friendship, parental/child interactions, life events, including trauma, and the sport of "mushing". The drama of everyday life in a couple of years, include enough action and a few "twists" to appeal to the reader's curiosity, thus , maintaining interest. The end of the story gives a definite lead into the next book of the series. The characters are portrayed well, with an interestingly realistic variety. The events are, also, described in detail, enabling the reader to "experience" the events. The Title and Book Cover are well-chosen. I offer a Four Stars rating for this book. *This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.
