Relationships of Characters in a book  - Fit together like a bouquet of flowers, so different but great together.  

A powerful element in any chapter book includes the weaving together of characters. The characters can be part of a group that shares the same sport, or a group that has the same sense of humour. Characters can also connect through their neighbourhood where the children gather on the street together to play street hockey or on the basketball court to shoot hoops. Both places where the teams are made up of all the children that show up. There are so many ways the characters in a book can fit together.

What is the meaning of the word 'character'? One definition is a person represented in a drama, story, etc. which relates to the characters in every story however a different definition that I used in The Case at High Lake is qualities of honesty, courage, of the like: integrity:

Todays challenge is to list the names and the relationships between the four main characters in The Case at High Lake.

Follow the junior detectives Miles, Nash, Owen and Ellie search for clues to help solve a mystery that unfolds during their summer visit at Gramma's cottage. 

A big boat's wave knocks over a table filled with treasures spilling a special piece into the lake where it disappears. Help the gang uncover clues and follow hunches discovered in nature to help solve the mystery. 

 Influenced by my love of cottage country and a deep connection to nature,  I use these influences to shape The Case at High Lake, the first book in The High Lake Detectives mystery series. My childhood explorations and adventures are woven throughout the pages as the clues unfold. My Grandchildren deeply inspire the mystery.

 

The first mystery for you, my readers and junior detectives, is to solve the word scramble below to uncover what went missing into the lake.
