Book Review: The Lake Never Tells, Alex Tully

June 25, 2021 by Tahlia Newland

The Lake Never Tells by Alex Tully is a young adult book that deals with universal themes. It’s about two kids from different backgrounds. One is a reserved rich boy and the other is an outgoing girl from a caravan park, a trailer park, which is on the side of a beautiful lake – hence The Lake Never Tells. The people who live in the caravan park think those who live in the resort are stuck up, and those who live in the resort tend to look down on those who live in the trailer park. Normally people from different backgrounds like this wouldn’t meet, but in this instance they do. Add a murder mystery and other secrets and you have the makings of a great story.

Watch the video for the full review. It has subtitles if you don’t want to listen. And please subscribe to the channel.

The blurb

Zoe has lived in Sunny Shores Trailer Park her whole life and she knows what the Memorial Day weekend brings—snobby rich kids who serve as a constant reminder of how pathetic her life really is. So when she meets Ethan, the awkward boy from the exclusive community of Crystal Waters, she can’t help being intrigued. He’s different, but in a good way.

Along with her stand-in little brother Parker, and her best friend Meredith, the four of them form an unlikely friendship. But one morning, their idyllic summer is turned upside down when a dead body washes up on the beach…

From the author of the critically acclaimed Hope for Garbage, comes another story of friendship, hope, and the incredible power of the human spirit.
