✦ Synopsis

A weed bed, he told himself. It’s only a bunch of weeds
waving with the current of the river. But then, he felt something
brush ever so lightly against one of his legs. He stole a glance over
his shoulder to see how Isaac was doing ... and it was then he saw it.
Emerging from the waters only a few feet behind his friend
rose a large, black object. At first glance it looked for all the world like
the arched back of a gigantic fish or a dolphin. Then, just as quickly,
the creature vanished beneath the waves without a sound or splash.

Caleb Weybourne is sent to spend the summer in the far reaches of northern Canada with his anthropologist father, who hopes to prove the existence of the Mahkneejosh, the great water monster of Ojibway legend. Together with two intrepid local boys, Isaac and Eli Cobby, he spends his days in the sun fishing and hiking. When a reward is offered for information leading to the arrest of Kibo, a sinister fugitive, the boys decide to go on a scouting mission along Red Marsh Lake.

Will they find Kibo’s hideout? Is his father’s enigmatic Ojibway guide a shaman? And just what is the thing in the water out on Red Marsh Lake?

Suspenseful and fraught with danger, Mystery at Red Marsh Lake is an action-packed coming-of-age story blending friendship, loyalty, hope and the irresistible call of adventure.
