Secret from the Deep

Dani, a twelve-year-old girl, is angry and heartbroken at being sent to relatives she hardly knows in Canada while her parents go through a bitter divorce. Dani clashes with her cousin, Mitch, the same age, who frightens her with stories about the monster of Lake Okanagan. Her fear turns to fascination after Dani has several sightings of the ogopogo. She feels protective toward this rare creature and names him Pogo. She soon learns a misguided scientist is out to destroy Ogopogo to prove it exists and that her cousin is helping him. With the help of an old Indian Chief, who is a recluse, and the Na-ha-ha-itk, Dani saves Pogo and in fighting for him, forgets about her own problems.Curtis, Patricia Gregory is the author of 'Secret from the Deep', published 2004 under ISBN 9781413722932 and ISBN 1413722938.
