Key Selling Points
- Fourteen-year-old Charlotte is determined to use her new drone to prove the existence of an elusive lake monster.
- This story explores family dynamics and intergenerational relationships, as well as themes of conservation, responsibility and doing the right thing.
- The appeal of mythical creatures like the Loch Ness Monster is universal, and drone pilots are increasingly using drones to search for lake monsters. The author's husband is a drone pilot, and consumer-level drones are becoming increasingly popular.
- This fictional town and community of Dorothy Lake was inspired by the Shuswap-Okanagan region of British Columbia, which is where the author grew up and is also the home of two lake monsters: the famous Ogopogo of Okanagan Lake and Shuswaggi of Shuswap Lake.
- Enhanced features (highly-readable font, cream paper, larger trim size) to increase reading accessibility for dyslexic and other striving readers.
