One girl's daring adventure turns into a frightful night lost in the middle of a lake in a boat that might be haunted.

   One girl's daring adventure turns into a long frightful night lost on the water.

Forced to leave the California beach behind to spend the summer with her grandma in rural Tennessee, Dannie is certain this will be the most boring summer of her life. Things start looking up when a group of local kids, mistaking her short hair and boyish figure, invite her on their 'no girls allowed' overnight kayaking trip. Obviously, her grandma refuses to let her go. But Dannie suspects the real reason is that the woman is afraid of the lake, only she won't tell Dannie why.

Longing for freedom and adventure, Dannie finds an old rowboat hidden behind the shed and sneaks off on her own to catch up to her new friends. It seems like a simple solution ... until everything goes wrong.

Dannie soon discovers this lake is more than just vast. It's full of danger, family secrets, and ghosts.

Professional Reviews

5-star review from Reader's Favorite:
"Intriguing and suspenseful, Lost on the Water is well suited to a young adult audience. As an adult, the theme of social pressure, the search for independence, and the hankering for adventure brought back bittersweet memories of being a teenager. This exciting period following the childhood magic of tooth fairies and Santa Claus, when teenagers want to believe that just about anything is possible, is the ideal setting for a feel-good ghost story. During this period, the innocence of childhood still fuels the imagination and makes for a fast-paced and dramatic story line with a heart-warming, homespun tone. I loved Dannie's quick wit, sharp tongue and tough attitude; her strong female character is evident in her sassy comebacks and made me like her instantly. D.G. Driver's Lost on the Water features adventure, humor, intrigue and just the right amount of romance for a YA novel - a spectacular combination!"

LILbooKlovers review
"Lost on the Water is a creepy and chilling tale filled with secrets, mystery, and intrigue. It is a very quick and easy read that will suck you in after just a few pages. The story might seem a bit innocent at first, but be warned, there’s more secrets and scares than meets the eye... While I am not an expert in ghost stories, I can say with certainty that a good one must be able to spook you. Lost on the Water did send many chills down my spine as it creeped me out. It is one of those stories that is perfect to narrate around a campfire in the middle of the night or to read in your bed while staying up past your bedtime. I finished Lost on the Water in just a few sittings, and I found myself intrigued and mystified by the possibility of a ghost plaguing Dannie and Center Hill Lake from the start. This book will get your heart pounding, your blood pumping, and your senses prickling."


Ally.is.Reading bookstagram review
"This is so much more than a ghost story. I was transported into a coming of age story with all the struggles and doubts you find yourself plagued with. You find ghosts not just haunting places but the ghosts that are hidden in families. This story offered so much more than I even know I wanted. I recommend you pick up your copy today."
