"The Title Story introduces us to the Bartlett family: nine-year-old Annie; rebellious and sullen Leigh, her older sister; their philandering father, Ed: and their mother, Helen, whose drowning is the central mystery of the collection."--BOOK JACKET. "In "The Treasure Hunter's Daughter" Annie's father takes her with him to an abandoned dump on one of his many get-rich quick schemes. When she's badly cut on a valuable bottle during the dig, she learns to her dismay that her father's first thought is to retrieve the bottle before taking care of her wound."--BOOK JACKET. "In "Cliffs Notes" Annie accompanies Leigh to a gay bar where Leigh judges a drag queen contest and baits her English teacher who happens to be there. It is up to Annie to get herself and her sister out of harm's way when events get out of hand."--BOOK JACKET. "Rules of the Lake celebrates the power of childhood imagination in the midst of loss, love, and change. What Annie learns when she rolls her canoe - against her father's rules - is that life is both exhilarating and dangerous."--BOOK JACKET.
