Each book aims for the highest standards of scientific accuracy and storytelling magic.

Product Description:

Pesca and the other alewives know that it is time. Together, the fish avoid porpoises, seals, eagles and other dangers as they conduct their epic migration from the ocean to the lake where they were spawned. But when they are nearly there, they find their way to Lily Lake is blocked. A new culvert lies between the fish and their goal. Fortunately, a boy and his father realize the situation the fish are facing and lend a helping hand.
