Spring has come again to Lake Kanakondah, but it is not a peaceful spring. A menacing presence has invaded the deep dark waters of the bottomless lake. Caught in a mystery that began a long time ago in Peru, Alex, Maizy, and Harvey must right a wrong to save their lake. When Harvey disappears, Alex and Maizy find themselves fighting a dangerous force that plummets them spinning into an upside down world with no way home. With every step they take, the ancient mystery grows dangerously unsolvable, until Alex and Maizy are left wondering if they can right the wrong, find Harvey, and save Lake Kanakondah—and most important: find their way home?

Download or read book The Saints of Rattlesnake Mountain written by Don Waters and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master storyteller Don Waters returns to the desert in his third book set in the American Southwest. With the gothic sensibility of Flannery O’Connor and emotional delicacy of Raymond Carver, these nine contemporary stories deftly explore the lives of characters losing or clinging to a fleeting faith and struggling to find something meaningful to believe in beneath overpowering desert skies. Soldiers, seekers, priests, prisoners, and surfers pursue their fate amid bizarre, sometimes overwhelming circumstances. In “La Luz de Jesús,” a gutless Los Angeles screenwriter, a believer in nothing but the god of Hollywood, must reorient after he encounters a group of penitents in New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The decorated soldier in “Española” faces more chaos back home than he did during his tour in Iraq. And “The Saints of Rattlesnake Mountain” pairs a “trustee” prison inmate and a wild mustang horse, both wards of the state of Nevada, as they fumble toward a spiritual truth. These stories capture the spirit of a region and its people. Once again Waters assembles an unconventional cast of characters, capturing their foibles and imperfections, and always rendering them with compassion as these modern-day martyrs and spiritually haunted survivors strive for some kind of redemption. Ingenious, sometimes forbidding, often absurd, and altogether original, The Saints of Rattlesnake Mountain is a stirring tribute to the lives, loves, and hopes of the faithful and the dispossessed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alex, a twelve year old boy, who does not like change, finds himself unwillingly pulled along by events he can’t control. The story begins with the seemingly harmless decision of his parents to change their vacation plans. Instead of going to the beach they will spend the summer at Lake Kanakondah—a lake Alex can’t find in a computer search. Soon he’ll be harassed by a ghost that might not be a ghost, a monster that might not be a monster, and a villain that is truly a villain. With the help of his older sister, Samantha, and two new friends, Seth and Maizy, Alex will learn that solving each mystery only pulls him deeper into a dangerous adventure. In the end Alex, who has always let his older sister fight his battles for him, will find himself alone to fight the final battle.
