Something Fishy Here

Just in time for light-hearted summer reading!

fishyBook 1 in this new series, says Publisher’s Weekly, is  “heavy on the yuks”. Kirkus calls it a “great boys’ counterpart to such stellar girls series as “Ivy and Bean” .

Here’s the plot:  When bully Bryce Billings bets Fish Finelli that he can’t find Captain Kidd’s legendary long-lost treasure, Fish and his friends embark on a quest to find real-life pirate treasure. Between sneaking into the library to track down Captain Kidd’s map, stowing away on a boat, and trespassing on an island, Fish and his friends have their work cut out for them. But will Fish actually be able to find Captain Kidd’s booty and win the bet? Appropriate for both boys and girls, the Fish Finelli series will inspire readers to use their imaginations, learn about the world around them, and appreciate the bonds of friendship.

Not to mention, keep up their reading skills over vacation! We’re giving away five free copies, so enter your comment below.
