About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a 'reading slump' or needs a high-energy, silly escape to remind them that books can be pure fun. It is a perfect choice for kids who gravitate toward gross-out humor, slapstick comedy, and visual storytelling. The story follows young Wiley and his eccentric Grampa as they hunt for a legendary, monstrous fish in Lake Putrid. While the tone is decidedly zany, it highlights a warm, multi-generational bond and the importance of teamwork when facing scary (and slimy) challenges. It is best suited for readers aged 7 to 10 who enjoy fast-paced adventures with a touch of the absurd. You might choose this to build reading stamina through humor and to celebrate the unique, chaotic love of a quirky family.
