Spooky Lakes

25 Strange and Mysterious Lakes that Dot Our Planet

By: Geo Rutherford

Narrated by: Geo Rutherford

Dive into the most mysterious waters around the world (if you dare) in Spooky Lakes, a must-listen nonfiction book from TikTok star and educator Geo Rutherford

Some of Earth's strangest-and creepiest-wonders lie deep below the surface. There's Lake Natron, a Tanzanian lake so briny that its waters can mummify any creature that touches its surface; Lake Maracaibo, a Venezuelan tidal bay where a constantly brewing storm sends an average of twenty-eight lightning bolts per second into the water; and at the bottom of Lake Superior, the crew of the USS Kamloops-which mysteriously disappeared in 1921-remains somehow almost perfectly preserved to this day.

From Geo Rutherford-the creator of the hit series Spooky Lake Month (over sixty-five million likes!)-comes this thrilling nonfiction book that plumbs the depths of twenty-five unusual lakes around the world. Listeners will learn not only about the science of hydrology, but why understanding the natural world is crucial to protecting it from pollution and climate change. Backed by extensive research and packed with all-new content, Spooky Lakes takes listeners on an adventure through weird and wild waters.

You are awesome and inspiring, thank you for all your hard.

Recording doesn’t match the side notes as you follow along. Overall does not distract from an easy fun read with my child.

Loved it. Buying the physical copy as well.

I'm listening both as for my own enjoyment and as a spooky treat while I drift to sleep.

Such a great researcher/author!

A great reading of her colorful book! A few edits to the recording are needed. I would love to volunteer to send notes, tell me how I can help!

So Spooky 👻

Awesome book with great narration. I wish the audible version had accompanying artwork. I would love to see the unique ghosties that you drew. 10/10 spookies.

Uhm, yes, hello...there are a few sound/recording issues

This author is wonderful and I love her work! There are some sound/recording issues, but I still enjoyed being read a picture book. If you are familiar with this author and their content on social media, you'll be delighted to hear her tell you about some of the spookiest of lakes.

10/10 spookies!

umm yes hello. Geo has done an EXCELLENT job capturing everything we love about the world's spooky lakes! Get ready to dive into the perfect blend of scientific fact and storytelling. I absolutely love Geo's narration and am so happy to have spooky lake stories all year round!

LOVE THIS!

Geo did a great job. I will say who ever edited this story missed a few moments that probably needed to be edited out or around. A few times she’d start over and re read a sentence and it was clear that wasn’t supposed to be there. Not Geos fault though so all 5 stars for her!

Fascinating facts, presented very accessibly

I’m a fan of the TikTok series, but this book is an excellent expansion of the tidbits of knowledge the clips can give you. I already have recommended the books to my cousins with kids, they will absolutely find the macabre facts interesting.

My only complaint is the narration, Geo does a good job but there were a couple editing errors, like a blooper and a Fun Fact being repeated twice later in the book.
10/10 spookies though, looking forward to reading my hard copy for the art!

Um, yes hello!

I love Geo's content online and this book was a fantastic extension of that. I also own the physical copy, and her artwork is gorgeous. 10/10 highly recommend

Excellent Audiobook, except....

The audiobook itself is awesome and wonderful - but you kind of need the actual book to be able to appreciate the art that Geo created herself, and to understand when the sidenotes come about.
