With a new baby in the house, Millicent MacCallum's parents need a break. For the summer of 1914, they decide to send Millie to her aunt and uncle's in the Kawarthas. Millie quickly discovers that life in Stoney Lake is quite different than in the city. Millie's aunt--an Ojibway Indian--and her cousins teach her about swimming, building a canoe--and even how to milk a goat! But her biggest challenge is yet to come. When the lighthouse goes dark can Millie save an incoming ship from the rocky shores?

More bad news: her mother has enrolled her in a new school where she'll be expected to learn languages, dancing, and lady-like deportment. Millie would much rather be paddling a canoe or tucking up her dress to wade among water lilies. Nonetheless, she promises her father that she'll stay out of trouble while he's away. But for a girl as lively as Millie, this is a hard promise to keep .
