Living in a lakeside community of “cellar holes, trailers, and old winterized cottages,” a girl of Native American and French descent loves her home, but feels demeaned when classmates call her a lake rat. She confides in Grampa, who listens, questions, and reminds her of a legend concerning Muskrat. A dream and a symbolic dive into the lake help the girl fully accept where she’s from and who she is. — Booklist
