Book Overview

Luke Houser and his friends enter their junior year at Missing Lake High School in rural western Montana under extremely unusual circumstances after a tremendous forest fire kept the community on edge for months. The memory of the fire permeates all aspects of everyone's lives, including those of the incredible secret dragon family who live up north. Luke makes a new canine friend through his step-mom's veterinary clinic and Chase plays an important role despite not being one of the family's beloved sled dogs. The silver dragon, Zagros has some serious news for his young Dragoneer that will impact the entire dragon realm, particularly the young ones, Helios and Cassiel. Luke has to process this information all while a crisis unfolds during one of Ms.Tanner's Sharing Sessions in English class. Luke and two of his best friends are suddenly involved in the frightening situation and it is one more time that Luke realizes how special it is to attend a smaller high school where just about everyone knows who you are. Luke's ability to be charming, thoughtful and funny once again endears him to his classmates even though he has to make choices that could jeopardize their meaningful relationships. These choices challenge the sometimes awkward sixteen-year-old but he cannot share them with anyone without risking the discovery of the magnificent dragons. Luke and his friends are very much teenagers and their experiences, frustrations and dialogues are relatable and even touching at times. Luke and his father are still training their Alaskan huskies and the dream to race this coming winter is very real. This is the fourth book in the Missing Lake series that follows a reluctantly intrepid young man's journey into adulthood with his family, friends, dogs, cats and dragons by his side.Tanya Fyfe has been creating the Missing Lake series for several years after publishing Lost and Found in Missing Lake in 2014. The talented illustrator, Ben Brick came on board for The Dragons of Missing Lake and Secrets Abound in Missing Lake. The series introduces a modern blended family living in rural Montana where they eventually get to meet a dragon family. The fantasy weaves in with the real life fictional story in a very believable way. This is a series of hope, love and friendship while also being a story about caring for others. It is about being more than just yourself, which comes at a crucial time in our planet's history.

About Tanya Fyfe

Tanya Fyfe has been creating fictional characters and stories since she was in elementary school. Dr.Fyfe's background is colorful and varied. She was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada, but has also lived in Tokyo and now the United States. Dr.Fyfe attended high school in small town Grand Forks as well as Vancouver, BC, where she was enrolled in a sports-school for elite athletes. There, she trained with Dr.Hellmut May at the Kerresdale Figure Skating Club and completed her Gold Figure, Freeskate and Dances. She received her academic arts diploma from Fraser Valley College while pursuing theatre, performing with the Vancouver TheatreSports league's Rookie Nights. She also co-founded the Robin Goodfellow Players, which was an improv comedy troupe. Joining the ice shows took her to Japan, where she returned to teach English in 1992. The improv training helped significantly as she told potential employers she was 25 years old and had a teaching degree from the "University of Vancouver". (Note: she was 19 and there is no such institution). After one more ice show in 1994, Tanya decided to stick with coaching and moved back to Canada. Dr.Fyfe met her husband, Dr.Alistair Fyfe, an MD, in 1994 when she was the guest skater in a community show he attended with friends. They moved to North Dakota and she was able to finish her science education at Bismarck's University of Mary. She received her DVM degree from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon in 2005. In veterinary school, Dr.Fyfe published a regular newsletter with 3 classmates she convinced should contribute. The Times of Our Lives was well received by classmates and professors alike and helped keep the young veterinarians grounded. Together the doctors Fyfe have raised his 2 children along with American Paint Horses in North Dakota. Having both been raised in BC, the Fyfes missed their mountains and eventually made their way to Montana where Dr.Tanya Fyfe resides full time. There, she is surrounded by several animal companions who serve as highly entertaining muses. The 5 dogs, 8 cats, 3 ferrets, 2 guinea pigs and several horses often serve as the main focus of her blog, (tanyafyfe.wordpress.com). Dr.Fyfe enjoys writing and spending time outside with her husband. Together they golf, canoe, hike, ride horses, ski, plan holidays to Hawaii and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of their home in Montana.
