Arnolda Dufour Bowes, Karlene Harvey (Illustrator)
In this second book about the irrepressible Métis girl, Maggie Lou meets her match in the form of a new cousin Rosie, who is a rival in all kinds of ways until they become friends; a horse of her own named Hot Cocoa and the challenge of learning to ride; and finally, training for the famous Otipîm’sowak Race, a Métis voyageur relay. Maggie Lou meets all these challenges with enthusiasm and the help of her parents, kokhom and moshôm, and aunty and uncle.
