the Secret in Pond

Ronan and Colson just wanted one more cast.What they pull out of the lake that evening is the biggest, strangest, most beautiful fish anyone has ever seen. Pale peach scales. Weathered ivory fins. And a voice."Excuse me. I am far too important to be dinner."His name is Oros, he is older than the town itself, and he has been searching the Great Lake for something he lost a very long time ago - his little brother, swept away by a flood before either of them was grown.Ronan and Colson know exactly what that would feel like. They do everything together. So they make a promise, and keeping it will take one very convincing camping trip, one fishing net, and a secret they absolutely cannot tell Dad.The Secret in the Pond is a warm, funny bedtime story about brothers, tall tales, and the kind of promise you keep no matter what. Perfect for ages 4 to 8, with full-color illustrations on every page and plenty of room for a knowing look between the reader and the listener.
