Fish (Reading Log)

By: L.S. Mathews

CMSW media center hard cover 183 pages

Published: 2003

Genre: YA historical fiction, adventure


I wrote this on 4.11.2007:


Summary: A boy and his parents leave the little village where they have been ministering, just before the soldiers show up. Taking their possessions on a donkey and following a guide, the boy rescues a fish and brings it with them. They endure many hardships and challenges as they strive to find safety.

 

Review:  Short, but it packs a punch. I can't help feeling that it's an allegory for something . . . And I'm missing it. What does the fish represent? Hope? Life? Hmmm. A good book circle book.
