Embedded Files
A lake. A legend. A girl who sees what others can’t.
Andrea Johnson is used to seeing things nobody else notices—little flashes of wonder hiding in the everyday. But nothing prepares her for this: a real, live Ogopogo, gliding through the waters of Okanagan Lake.
At first, Andrea keeps her new scaly friend a secret. But when two troublemakers capture the shy creature, Andrea must act fast. With her brother Matt (finally on her side), a mysterious old man who knows more than he lets on, and a creaky wheelbarrow, Andrea sets out on a wild rescue mission to save Ogopogo before it’s too late.
Full of heart, humor, and just the right amount of weirdness, Ogopogo: A Weird Canadian Tale will leave readers cheering for the shyest lake monster in Canada—and for the brave girl who believes in him.
What Readers Are Saying:
"I enjoyed the children’s book entitled Ogopogo for ages 8-12 years. I only wish I could have read a book like Ogopogo during my growing up years. The book is a refreshing tale of what one would expect to be a protagonist yet the author entangles the story into a positive outcome and friendship of sorts. The creative images enhance the tale with intrigue. I liked the pace and the mysterious adventure of sneaking out at night. Young adults definitely need more books like this one. Recommended."
