Absolutely adored this story. It reminded me so much of the stories my family shared around the campfire growing up.

Lauren and her younger brother James go on a trip with their Moshom (grandfather) and while he takes a nap, the two children take the canoe out to go fishing. While they are out on the lake, their canoe capsizes and Lauren finds herself chasing her brother James who is being pulled away by the Memekwesewak (beings who live in the water). Lauren goes to rescue her brother and together they are rescued by the call of home.

This is an amazing story about the power and strength of family, as well as indigenous mythology/legends. The pages are colourful and vibrant, and I loved the Author's note at the end about the history of the Memekwesewak legend.

I would highly recommend this book to elementary school readers as well as school libraries.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.
