About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their curious child is constantly asking 'why?' and they want to show how scientific thinking can be a real-life superpower. The Shifting Lake follows siblings Lincoln and Louisa as they use kitchen-based science experiments to understand a magical, shape-shifting lake. This story beautifully blends fantasy adventure with clear STEM concepts about the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). For ages 5-8, it's a perfect choice for fostering curiosity, resilience, and teamwork, demonstrating that understanding how the world works is its own kind of magic.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's conflicts are external and fantasy-based (a dangerous magical lake, a past dust storm). There are no sensitive topics like death, divorce, or identity struggles. The approach to problem-solving is entirely secular, focusing on scientific principles and collaboration. The resolution is hopeful and empowering.
