Ride the River (Our Canadian Girl: Millie, Book O

Ten-year-old tomboy Millie MacCallum needs a break from her parents and new baby sister almost as much as they need a break from Millie. So it s arranged that Millie will spend the summer with her aunt at Stoney Lake in Ontario s Kawartha Lakes region, one of the province s first areas of pioneer settlement. It s 1914 and life in the Kawarthas is much different than Millie s urban existence in Toronto. In the course of a wonderful, adventurous summer, Millie learns about another way of life and about herself in ways that she would never have imagined."
