In the third book in the acclaimed teen fiction, ‘Missing Lake’ series, Luke Houser is approaching his sixteenth birthday as well as summer vacation in the tiny mountain community of Missing Lake. He continues to try to find balance between real life with friends and their social requirements with the secret world of the mystical dragons.

Luke faces challenges with one of his beloved sled dogs as well as with Zagros, the majestic silver dragon, when he has to make choices that could lead to potential disaster. As the summer unfolds, so do more secrets in all aspects of Luke’s life and he tries to make sense of everything happening around him.

This is the third book in the series which shares Luke’s awkward and yet charming journey through adolescence with his beloved team of huskies, his friends near and far, and two dragon eggs that are going to hatch in the middle of nowhere.

My Thoughts Secrets Abound Missing Lake by Tanya Fyfe


I have a secret…I have been in love with dragons for as long as I can remember.  I

Bill & Suanne with Peter Yarrow

played Peter, Paul, and Mary’s song ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’ to the point that the vinyl wore out.  I still love the song.  You may have noticed the photo of Bill and me with Peter Yarrow on my Facebook.  He was here in Vancouver, promoting his new book, ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’.  Bill and I were the only adults in the store without children.  LOL!  We had to meet Peter Yarrow! I love all of his music but he is the one who sparked my imagination with dragons!

When Tanya Fyfe approached me to review her book ‘Secrets Abound Missing Lake’, I jumped at the chance.  I only had to see the dragons on the cover, to want to read it.  I normally don’t choose books to read from the cover.  I also only very occasionally read children’s and young adult books.

‘Secrets Abound Missing Lake’ lives up to the cover!

Luke is a teenager who has lived through his parents’ divorce and being moved around.  They lived in Vancouver, BC, Canada, where his mother still lives but then he moves with his father to Bismarck North Dakota.  He settles in and makes friends only to move again with his father and step-mother, Jackie to Missing Lake, Montana.  The move was to raise sled dogs and compete in competitions.  It was also to give Jackie a less stressful veterinary practice.  Luckily, Luke is very likeable and makes new friends again.

Luke also is chosen by a dragon, Zagros to be his friend and overseer.  Zagros and his mate Tabatha are also about to become parents, when their two eggs hatch.  There are only a few people who know about the dragon’s existence and it must be kept a secret to protect them.  Luke can’t even tell his best friend or mother.  Luckily his father and Jackie know about them so he has someone to talk to about them.

‘Secrets Abound Missing Lake’ is a delightful coming of age story.  It is full of well written characters that jump off the page.  The descriptions of Vancouver, Bismarck, and Missing Lake really set up the story.  I totally got lost in this book and didn’t want it to end.  This is book three in the ‘Missing Lake’ series and I can hardly wait for book 4.  It can easily be read without reading the first two books but I plan to read them next because I loved this book so much!

If you love coming of age stories, dragons, or just excellent storytelling, ‘Secrets Abound In Missing Lake’ Is a must read! 

5/5

I received the ebook for my honest review.
