What fun - to find another great book! Fish is the story of a farm boy named Maurice. When pushed too far out into the river one day Maurice discovered he could swim, and from then on he was called "Fish". The family comes upon hard times when their only horse dies and, due to his lack of ability to work on the farm anyway, Fish is sent off to the city to work as a delivery boy for his uncle.
On one of his first deliveries, Fish ventures out to the docks and into the world of pirates. He is supposed to deliver a bag of gold coins, but they are stolen, and Fish boards the pirate ship to try to get them back. Before long he is swabbing the deck, learning how to fight (actually, how to "not-fight") and living the pirate's life. This story is filled with adventure!
The gold coins Fish was delivering hold the clues to a huge treasure, but danger lies ahead as Scab (one of the pirates) plots to overthrow Captain Cobb and take over the ship. Can Fish and his friends uncover the plot and save the ship from mutiny? I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced book, and I just know that you will too! Check it out today!
