My twelve-year-old daughter began reading the book after I finished it, and I could hardly get her to put it down to come to the kitchen for dinner! I’m sure my nine-year old will feel the same way when it is her turn, and we are all looking forward to Cross’s next book release! (full review)

The concept is unique and imaginative. I like that. Many of today’s adventure books seem to stick to wizards, vampires and devious mastermind criminals. I love the freshness of this storyline and feel most kids will appreciate it too. (full review)

I'm an omnivorous reader, and I unabashedly enjoy escaping to fiction targeted at young adults. The Lost Lake Dig satisfied my urge for a fast-paced narrative that picks up momentum throughout.  (full review)

Far more than a fine children's book, this story invites further tales that magnify the thoughts suggested in this book. There is enough charm, adventure, and excitement in Cross's excellent writing to suggest this might just be another series worthy of a film + sequels! (full review)

This is a winner--an extravagantly imaginative and cunningly constructed adventure that tackles the age-old question of where ideas come from. . . .

PW Cross knows what his readers will like—hidden worlds, crazy characters, and danger! (full review)
