"The Girl in the Lake" by India Hill Brown
Celeste isn’t looking forward to spending the summer at her grandparents’ house with her family of excellent swimmers, especially since she just failed her swim test. Coming from an African-American family who finds swimming important puts a lot of pressure on Celeste, but what the adults don’t seem to acknowledge are the flickering lights, the footsteps coming from the attic, or how a girl who looks exactly like Celeste seems to pop up throughout the house. Celeste and her cousins need to work through their fear to come to the bottom of who the girl in the lake truly is.

Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines
Copyright is the lawful right of an author, artist, composer or other creator to control the use of his or her work by others. Generally speaking, a copyrighted work may not be duplicated, disseminated, or appropriated by others without the creator's permission. The public display or performance of copyrighted works is similarly restricted.
There are exceptions to this rule—notably the fair use doctrine discussed in the following Section—but generally the unauthorized use of a copyrighted work is copyright infringement, and may subject the infringer to civil and criminal penalties under federal law.
Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster. It allows one to use and build upon prior works in a manner that does not unfairly deprive prior copyright owners of the right to control and benefit from their works. Together with other features of copyright law like the idea/expression dichotomy discussed above, fair use reconciles the copyright statute with the First Amendment.
