questions with no answers, the characters in this collection are likable, searching, and very much wanting to do the right thing. I would highly recommend this book to English teachers who may be looking for a book of short stories to recommend to their students. In What Do Fish Have To Do With Anything?: And Other Stories, you always learn your lesson. From kindness to caring, Avi tells 7 tales of mystery and friendship. This book is funny and suspenseful, you never know what will happen next. While you're reading this book, you can tell how the characters are feeling at all times. If I had written this book, nothing would be changed. I recommend this book to children ages 10-13. Remember, like the stranger across the street said, you always need more than what they say. Written in the signature Avi methond, this book is about lots of subjects. Homeless People, Suicide, Ghosts, Divorce, Teachers and alot more. Avi keeps it real, making the things about events that do happen in 5th/6th/7th grades. I recomend this to anyone who enjous short stories or who like Avi's stranger stories.
