Ogopogo

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. 12,186 words.
