A small sleepy town comes alive when fishermen arrive to participate in the annual fishing derby. Peter Collier describes how the slow pace of the town drastically changes when "the hotels fill up and the campsites, too."  Suddenly, "the roads gets clogged; it's quite a traffic mess."It's a mess, but a fun and exciting kind of mess. Many fun characters arrive to compete in the fishing contest. One of them is Dwight Dingle (the name alone is funny already!) who "wears the fishing hat with the hooks of all kinds" and whose "fishing pole is simply named `Madge'."Then, there is Jake, whose "buttons weren't buttoned all straight in a row," there is six-year-old Kate who "baits all the hooks with old cheese mold," and Larry who loves to exaggerate, like a true fisherman. His fish "had wings and a lion's roar."And these are just a few of the delightful, creative, and imaginative characters you will meet on the pages of this wonderful book. Do you want to know who won the fishing competition? You will have to read the book and find out for yourself.
