In the book Meagan and Ian's mom dies while giving birth to a baby boy.
Meagan and Ian is living through a drought without their parents so Meagan decides to go find their uncle their mom told them about in Lundbreck falls.
While going to Lundbreck their dog Charlie runs away.Meagan and Ian goes after Charlie but they find their selves with 4 natives Mike Spotted Eagle, Dick Yellow Calf, Wally Running Rabbit, and Tim Fast rider.
They serve them with food and water but soon Ian finds out that they had eaten their dog Charlie!

Meagan is Ian's older sister and after mom's death she keeps thinking that she has to protect Ian instead of her mom.Meagan lives on a farm with Ian but is now going to Lundbreck.

Ian is Meagans little brother. Ian had never went to school unlike Meagan. Ian sometimes get annoyed or mad at his sister acting like his mom.
Ian really wanted a baby brother which he got but didn't survive.
Ian lives on the farm with Meagan but leaves it as he and his sister is going to Lundbreck.

So far in the book Megan and Ian lost their mother when she was giving birth to their baby brother, they lost him to.

There is also a big drought and all the people are gone, and there is little to none water. Wich is why they decide they are going to leave home and head for lumbrick falls, were there uncle lives.

But on the way charlie their dog and Ian's best friend, runs away so they chase after him but are grabbed by native boys. once they meet the native boys they stayed the night, it was a huge house and it had an in-door bathroom, with running water. There is a huge meal and they eat so much.

The native boys talk alot about Napi the creator, they also talk alot about the the bufflo and their history.

Unfortunitly at the end Ian and Megan find out that the native boys killed charlie and that was the meet they had been eating, Ian was devastated and in tears.
