From the award-winning author of On the Trapline comes a cinematic
fantasy-adventure story inspired by Indigenous legends.
One summer day, Lauren and her little brother, James, go on a trip to
the land with their Moshom (grandfather). After they've arrived, the
children decide to fish for dinner while Moshom naps. They are in their
canoe in the middle of the lake when the water around them begins to
swirl and crash. They are thrown overboard and when Lauren surfaces she
sees her brother being pulled away by the Memekwesewak -- creatures who
live in and around water and like to interfere with humans. Lauren must
follow the Memekwesewak through a portal and along a watery path to find
and bring back James. But when she finally comes upon her brother, she
too feels the lure of the Memekwesewak's song. Something even stronger
must pull them back home.
