The Water Castle
by Megan Frazer Blakemore
After his father's stroke, Ephraim and his family move to their ancestral home in Maine, the Water Castle. As Ephraim settles into life in his unique, mysterious new home and adjusts to a new school, he learns about the Fountain, a source of magical water. Ephraim is convinced that the water will cure his father, and sets off to find the the Fountain and, with the help of two new acquaintances, uncovers secrets about the history of the Water Castle.
The Water Castle is a touching story of family, friendship, and hope. I enjoyed how the story alternated between Ephraim's present-day experiences and the perspective of Nora, a young girl hired to work in the Water Castle a century earlier.
