Monster of Lake Lobo



Nickel, Scott. Monster of Lake Lobo. Stone Arch: 2008. ISBN: 9781598891.

Kevin, a young teenager, and his dad are staying in a cabin near Lake Lobo this summer. This lake has a legend, the legend of a shape-shifting, large monster with one green eye. One night, Kevin went walking through the woods and was chased by the monster. He tripped over a tree root and blacked out. He woke up the next morning and that is when Mr. David tells Kevin the legend that there is a good and a bad monster. Then Kevin notices Mr. David has a green eye and so does his dog.

I recommend this book to third and fourth graders even though it has a thin plot. Since there are four people, you kind of know who the monster is going to be.
