Trouble at Fort La Pointe

This story is about a girl named Suzette Chaoudoir, who is part French, part Ojibwe Indian. Her father is a trapper and has entered a contest about who can get the most skins. If he loses, he would have to spend time away from his family, working with other trappers.

Things start off bad when the canoes he and Suzette are transporting the furs in leak after someone sabotages them. Things get worse when her father is suspected of stealing some furs and it looks like their entire family could end up becoming outcasts.

Suzette and her friend set out to find the truth and prove her father innocent, but it's a dangerous journey and both girls could end up losing their lives.

It's another decent story in the somewhat mis-named "History Mysteries" series.
