The Properties of Water is a book about a girl named Lace who's sister Marni has a medical condition. She almost drowns underwater after she jumps off Turtle Rock . Lace's mom and sister are at a far away hospital for people like Marni. Lace and her dad are home by themselves and her dad can't handle it, so he hires a helper named Willa Dodge. Lace thinks that Willa Dodge is a thief, so she keeps a close eye on her. But Lace finds out something about Willa besides stolen goods.
Opinion:
At first reading The Properties of Water I didn't really like it. I thought it was a little unorganized. But after I found out why Marni and her mom were so far away I started understanding it and liking it. I recommend this book for people who like finding things out later in the story rather than all in the beginning. I think that The Properties of Water is kind of a mysterious book.
