"Fish loves his pebble collection, but he wishes for more so he goes on a journey to find some. What he doesn't expect is to make a new friend along the way!"--Amazon.
An introduction to sea gardens, also known as clam gardens, which have been found all along the Pacific northwest coast and which were created by Indigenous peoples to provide a reliable food source.
A large extended family spends the summer together every year at the ocean, and one year a bumper crop of clams provides meals well into the following winter.
Frustrated by his life of near-poverty and the unreliability of his divorced, drunken father, thirteen-year-old Scott throws himself into a science project raising clams to restock the bay of his Maine village.
After repeated warnings from his friends at the edge of the sea, a little clam digs in with his strong foot and succeeds in escaping the dangerous predators who want to eat him.
