My book talk<\/strong>: A Breton fisherman’s daily routine goes awry when his small boat is entangled by a mega-trawler, sending him on a trans-oceanic adventure far beyond his familiar French coastal waters in this near-wordless graphic novel.<\/p>\n

Paddling the life raft to their village, the first mate tells the fisherman’s distraught wife that the huge ship Goldfish has taken the old man away!<\/p>\n

How will he survive stormy seas and angry seagulls?
\nCan she get word to the captain of Goldfish to help her husband?
\nIf the vision in the pancake is correct, he is safe, but how to get there?<\/p>\n

Love and devotion, Brittany’s traditional lacemaking, tropical island and revolution, cans of sardines (oh, how he loathes sardines…) – over 200 pages of mishaps, persistence, and waves for miles make this story a keeper.<\/p>\n
