From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dessen comes a big-hearted, sweeping novel about a girl who reconnects with a part of her family she hasn\'t seen since she was a little girl--and falls in love, all over the course of a magical summer.
But when it\'s time to go back home, which side of her--Emma or Saylor--will win out?.
For Saylor, it\'s like a whole new world is opening up to her.
It\'s hard not to get caught up in the magic of North Lake--and Saylor finds herself falling under Roo\'s spell as well.
Roo holds the key to her family\'s history, and slowly, he helps her put the pieces together about her past.
Then there\'s Roo, the boy who was her very best friend when she was little.
But to her new family, she is Saylor, the name her mother always called her.
To her father, she is Emma.
The more time Emma spends there, the more it starts to feel like she is also divided into two people.
Her mother grew up in working class North Lake, while her dad spent summers in the wealthier Lake North resort.
When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there.
Now it\'s just Emma and her dad, and life is good, if a little predictable...until Emma is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her mother\'s family that she hasn\'t seen since she was a little girl.
But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever, with cold, clear water and mossy trees at the edges.
Emma Saylor doesn\'t remember a lot about her mother, who died when Emma was twelve.
