A children's story (middle grade) that's not just about finding mythical creatures but also about finding our inner strength. This book is a bundle of joy that teaches kids to believe in themselves, just like Lucy, who is determined to uncover the mysterious Lake Monster, Champ. As I read, I couldn't help but cheer for Lucy as she faced her worries, depression, and anxiety, learning that having faith in her resolve can conquer any challenge. The story is not only captivating but also cleverly weaves in important life lessons that children can relate to and learn from.
