Lulu & Ellie Go To Camp

The Canoe That Paddled Uphill

A canoe with a stubborn idea of its own leads Lulu and Ellie into a very funny, very curious camp mystery.

The Canoe That Paddled Uphill is part of Lulu & Ellie Go To Camp. Here, a canoe with a stubborn idea of its own leads Lulu and Ellie into a very funny, very curious camp mystery. The adventure stays warm and readable, even when the problem feels delightfully strange.

A canoe starts paddling uphill, which is enough to make even Lulu pause and blink. The sisters discover that the canoe is following a hidden path in the water, and the real challenge is learning how to read the current.

Young readers can settle into a series that gives them a clear emotional shape: a problem to understand, a world worth helping, and a finish that feels kind.
