What are the mysterious lights flitting above Oswego Lake on moonlit nights? Marsh gas? Ball lightning? Or holdovers from the dawn of Creation? When Jonathan Oliver makes it his homeschool project to track down the source of the Lake Lights, his search leads him to Iron Mountain and the abandoned Prosser mine with its prehistoric secrets. After his brilliant father, Matthew Oliver, goes missing, Jon is left to decode a cryptic message leading to a remarkable invention. With the help of his grandfather, Jon tries to outwit an unscrupulous scientist who will stop at nothing to steal the device and sell it to a shadowy criminal organization. His dual discoveries not only help Jon to deliver his city from total annihilation but also ultimately rock the scientific world to its foundations. The Lake Lights is the first title in the new Creation Seekers series. Illustrated by Becky Miller.
