Wide Eye

£8.99

Every year, ten-year-old Meridian spends her summer with Grandpa Frank on Wide Eye Lake, where she helps out at his quirky museum dedicated to the mysterious Wide Eye monster. But this year, something is different. Tasked with organising the museum’s old files, Meridian stumbles across more than just faded photos and scribbled sightings of mysterious paw prints. Hidden among the clutter are some old mementos that unlock a long-buried family secret – one that turns her entire world upside down. Not only does Meridian have a family mystery to solve, but this summer she has to avoid two prankster classmates who just so happen to be vacationing nearby. Summer at Wide Eye Lake really isn’t turning out to be the magical escape it used to be. Can Meridian rediscover the magic of the lake and the local stories she once loved, or will her family be forever changed?

Description

Welcome, believers! Welcome, skeptics! Welcome, wishy-washers!

Most people don’t believe in the Wide Eye monster, but ten-year-old Meridian knows better. Every summer she helps run her grandpa’s quirky lakeside museum, collecting evidence that Wide Eye is real!

But while tracking the monster, Meridian uncovers a new mystery. It starts with an old family secret: one that her grandpa refuses to explain. And the more Meridian hunts for answers, the more she suspects that the truth is bound to Wide Eye itself…
