The Sawfin Stickleback

A Very Fishy Story

People still talk about the time my little brother Mark caught the gigantic sawfin stickleback—the biggest, meanest, and scariest fish to ever live in Amber Lake. It all began the first time he came ice fishing with me and Grandpa. The fishing was pretty slow that day, and our bobbers weren’t even getting nibbles until a dark shape swam beneath the ice…

This humorous fish story, brilliantly illustrated by Dan Yaccarino’s bold, graphic art, will keep young readers on the edge of their seats wondering if—and how—Mark will land the sawfin stickleback.
