Book Cover & Preview Text
Olly's boat was kept in a Boat House which was right on the edge of the lake. Naturally it was made of wood, but Olly did not build it, his father did, quite some years ago now so it was getting a little bit shabby. It was built on stilts with steps that led up to the half rotten door which wobbled and creaked as Tommy opened it. He found Olly's fishing rod resting in the corner and put it in the boat along with the other rods. Tommy then opened the double doors at the back of the Boat House. As he opened the doors the sunlight began to pour in through the opening. The cool damp air disappeared as the fresh warm breeze blew in through the doors. Tommy was now standing in front of the ramps that ran down into the lake.
