This is a picture book based on the folklore of 'Memekwesewak', the dwarf creatures found around Turtle island. Author gave a way to the story for the mystery lies in the ancient built-up myth of the indegenious people of the Seneca tribe and likewise.
Here James and Lauren, two siblings who were riding canoe went downwards with the effect of whirlpool and found that Memekwesewak were taking them with them at some place where they danced on the waves of water and to forests and skies & return to their side of shore, back to their 'Moshom' (GrandPa in native language).

It is a nice story with a touch of some other part of world's folklore and quite musically adventurous. Illustrations were so soothing and colourful, with facials matched with the depicted kind of native tribes' people.
