Calvin and his mom"s boyfriend, Ledward, are good friends. When Ledward wins plane tickets, he invites Calvin to fly to Hawaii, the Big Island, for a day, and go deep-sea fishing. Wow! Calvin"s never been on a plane, or any boat but his skiff. What a day—Calvin catches his first big fish, an ono. But that"s nothing compared to what happens when Ledward hooks a huge and very angry marlin that charges the boat! Fishing with Ledward opens Calvin"s eyes to adventure and to important ideas about respecting nature.
