Plans for a summer at the lake had been canceled when mother had to go to Nova Scotia to take care of grandfather. It appeared Lexy and her friend Patty were faced with a long bleak July at home in Edmonton, Canada. But Lexy had ideas. Out of a perfectly wonderful plan for making some vacation money came involvement with nearly all the neighbors; and there was a totally unexpected encounter with a hunted criminal. The excitement continued long after August had arrived and they were all at the lake for the long-planned vacation. Author Audrey McKim writes for the teenager with understanding and humor. As in her earlier book, "Lexy for Short", Lexy and her friends Patty, Clarence, Indigo, and others come alive for the read in a very rewarding way.
