A poignant, contemporary family story set in Goa, India, written by Pratima Mitchell. Hari' s family make their living from fishing, but with no fish left in the bay, times are really hard. To catch the fish further away they need a better boat, but to get a better boat they need to sell fish. . . Despite family feuds and village superstitions standing in his way, Hari doesn' t give up, and it isn' t long before help arrives from the most unlikely source. This thought-provoking story from Pratima Mitchell has engaging black-and-white illustrations by David Dean and is perfect for children who are developing as readers.
