This was the first book I wrote for American Girl. I wanted to create a character who lived during the fur trade era, in what is now northern Wisconsin. Suzette, who has an Ojibwe mother and a French father, needs to use skills and knowledge from both cultures to solve a problem that threatens her family. I hope the mystery keeps you guessing!
