BIG FISH LITTLE FISH

BIG FISH LITTLE FISH Jeremy wants to win the spinning sure-catch reel and a super twangy snap-resistant rod that is first prize in a local fishing competition. He plans to go out on the water on his friend's dad's speed boat but is curtailed when his grandad offers to take him out in his old rowboat - and his mom accepts on his behalf! On the water there are few bites and Jeremy starts to get antsy. His grandad begins to tell the story of his family, who were whalers, and how the family began to disintegrate as the group of brothers grew more competitive and wanted more and more from their fishing exploits.ABOUT THE AUTHORMELANIE DREWERY lives on a farm at Ruby Bay, near Nelson.
