Margi Preus is a New York Times–best-selling author of books for young readers, including Shadow on the Mountain, West of the Moon, and Heart of a Samurai, winner of a Newbery Honor and the Asian/Pacific American Award for Children’s Literature. She loved mysteries since she was allowed to stay up past her bedtime to watch Perry Mason with her dad. Enchantment Lake is her first mystery.
"After playing a detective on TV, Francie travels to idyllic
northern Minnesota to help her aunts. People are dying in strange
accidents on Enchantment Lake, and the deaths seem to revolve
around a treasure—could it be hidden at the bottom of the lake? In
this charming first mystery, Francie finds the answers to most of
her questions and even a bit of enchantment for herself."—Mary
Logue, author of Lake of Tears and Sleep like a Tiger"Minnesota’s
master storyteller Margi Preus gives us another gem of a
novel—funny and moving, gorgeously written, and suspenseful. As
much as this book is an absorbing mystery, it’s also a deeply felt
love letter to our uniquely enchanted northwoods. This is a book to
lose yourself in."—Anne Ursu, author of Breadcrumbs and The Real
Boy
"Preus, whose Heart of a Samurai (2010) was a Newbery Honor Book,
offers intriguing characters, suspenseful moments, and a love
interest—plenty to keep readers involved."—Booklist"A delightful
story for readers of all ages."—Play Off the Page"A quick-moving

and eccentric characters. A cute, original, and entertaining

characters."—Lovely Literature"A good mystery novel with fun
characters and interesting occurrences."—A Dream Within A Dream"A

over."—Star Tribune
