A young Ojibwa girl and her grandmother have taken the motorboat to Smooth Rock Island many times before, but never at night. Filled with a strange feeling and sensing the presence of others although she sees no one else, the young girl listens as Noko, her grandmother, tells of coming to the island for ceremonial dances. Listening for the sound of moccasins and trying to be brave, the granddaughter finally sees ancestors dancing in the fire's smoke, and she joins her grandmother as a Firedancer. Grades 2-4 and older readers. 1999.
