About this listen
A lost dog, a hidden time tunnel, and a secret lake. A magical and gripping time travel adventure for children aged eight to 11. Now enjoyed by thousands of young listeners!
When Stella and her younger brother, Tom, move to their new London home, they become mystified by the disappearances of Harry, their elderly neighbor's small dog. Where does he go? And why does he keep reappearing wet-through?
Their quest to solve the riddle over the summer holidays leads to a boat buried under a grassy mound, and a tunnel that takes them to a secret lake.
Who is the boy rowing towards them who looks 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 traveled back in time to their home and its gardens almost 100 years earlier. Here they make both friends and enemies, and uncover startling connections between the past and present.
A modern children's classic.
The Secret Lake has been described by listeners as a modern Tom's Midnight Garden and compared in atmosphere with The Secret Garden and the Enid Blyton and Nancy Drew mystery adventure stories. Its magical and gripping plot, with its many twists and turns makes it a firm favorite with both boys and girls.
Karen Inglis describes it as, a time travel mystery adventure with modern twists - the kind of story that I loved as a child, but brought right up to date.
The adventure starts here - order today!

We liked the twists and turns
We listened to this as a class book for the topic, lakes and rivers.
The class always wanted to keep listening and could picture the characters. They felt like they knew them. Very entertaining. Thank you

Fantastic adventure
My 8 and 4 year old daughters loved this story. They were captivated throughout. They especially loved the idea of the magical moles, and the revelations at the end of the book!

Rather Flat.
A poor man's version of Tom's Midnight Garden, but without the charm.
Perhaps if it had been another narrator instead of the author reading it there would have been a bit more life, but despite there being fairly exciting events in it, it just plodded on and we were glad when it finished so we could try something else.

This is rubbish
What has the world come to. A children’s story that goes on about Facebook ... where’s the imagination. What a waste of money
