Review Summaries
"Kerry and Joe are two average londoner kids who have to go and stay with their great aunt Eleanor at Clee manor. They do not relish the idea of staying the holidays at ther aged aunts house but as she tells them of the past of the house they find themselves getting more and more interested. It seems as though in the 16th century a weather witch protected the village from invaders by covering it up with a lake, the same lake that the manor Cree now sits beside. The two children start experiencing wierd visions and feelings until one day while boating on the lake they are pulled down to the lake bed where the 16th century village remains suspended in a time bubble. Joe and Kerry must convince the witch that the danger is over for the village and it is time to let them free again...but will they be able to convince her to release her hold on a village that she has had power over for the last 400 years?
