Bookroo's summary

On the Windy Lake First Nation, four cousins, known as the Mighty Muskrats, face their biggest challenge yet. When an archaeologist mysteriously disappears, Sam, Otter, Atim, and Chickadee dive into the investigation. Amidst community tensions and environmental protests, they follow every clue from their makeshift bus fort. Can they uncover the truth before it's too late?

From the publisher

Sam, Otter, Atim and Chickadee are four cousins growing up on the Windy Lake First Nation. They are inseparable. Nicknamed the Mighty Muskrats for their habit of laughing, fighting and adventuring together, the cousins find that each new exploit adds to their reputation. When a visiting archeologist goes missing, the cousins decide to solve the mystery of his disappearance. In the midst of community conflict, family concerns and environmental protests, the four get busy following every lead. From their base of operations in a fort made out of an old school bus, the Mighty Muskrats won’t let anything stop them from solving their case!
