Synopsis
Suzette Choudoir has spent each of her twelve summers at La Pointe Island on Lake Superior, where Ojibwe people camp by the French fur-trade fort. It is 1732 and if her papa wins the trappers' competition, the prize will let him stay with his Ojibwe family year-round instead of wintering in far-off Montréal with the other French voyageurs. But a troublemaker sabotages the competition, and Papa. Only someone who's both Ojibwe and French can figure out what's going on -- someone like Suzette.
This book includes a richly illustrated "Peak Into The Past" essay, glosseries of French and Ojibwe words, and an author's note.

From the Author
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!
