The Mighty Muskrats' new case is a real showstopper!
School's out for the four Cree cousins, but this is no ordinary summer-a movie is being filmed in Windy Lake First Nation. With superheroes in their backyard, the cousins can't wait to show the actors and stunt doubles all that Windy Lake has to offer-as soon as they actually meet them, that is.
