“A thrilling adventure full of magic and wonder. John August is a master storyteller.” —Ransom Riggs, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children From acclaimed screenwriter John August, Arlo Finch in the Lake of the Moon is a spellbinding fantasy adventure story about the magic that lies just beyond our world. Something was coming. Arlo felt certain about that. For Arlo Finch and the Rangers of Pine Mountain Company, summer camp is more than canoeing and hiking. It’s also a chance to earn patches for more magical activities like identifying forest spirits and learning about the past by “reading” trees. But trouble starts even before Arlo and his best friends Indra and Wu head off for camp. When they stumble upon clues about a long-lost Patrol, Arlo uncovers a history that leads right back to his very own family . . . and changes everything forever.
