Summer has a magic all its own in Elizabeth Enright's beloved stories about two children and their discovery of a ghostly lakeside resort. This is the sequel to Gone Away Lake, and it picks up from where the first book left off. The Blakes purchased the Villa Caprice that the kids discovered in the first book.

The family is back for another summer and continues to clean and restore the house. In the beginning of the story, Aunt Minnehaha tells a story and informs the family that there used to be a hidden safe in the house, which Julian makes it his mission to find. This is a wonderful and charming story that adults and children will enjoy and is just as good as the first book.
