(4) 4-6 Kyna's terrified of water; her family drowned during a storm, and only she survived. It isn't easy for her to spend a summer near a lake, even with her adoptive parents' tales of silkies (seal/human creatures that protect swimmers) to comfort her. The story's lyricism, though smooth, slows the plot, and the secret is obvious, but the Irish folklore element adds interest.
