by Gary Alipio (Author)

The Craziest Fishing Tale on the Bayou
Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade
A beast of a tale, for true! Twelve-year-old Hatcher Hampton eagerly embarks on his first "men's" fishing trip, a family tradition. He accompanies Grampa Grump and his older brother Hunter to the Big Fish Fishing Rodeo on Bayou Vivré. The $500 prize is just enough to save his family from eviction. Hatch is determined to show up his brother and win the cash reward. Misadventure soon unfolds in the bayou backcountry. The Hamptons go up against the one-armed man Lazarre and discover a legend of the swamp. Hatch comes face-to-face with his greatest fear and learns important lessons about self and family. This middle-reader is a rollicking and offbeat tale that will surely delight the boy in everyone.
