The war is coming to the country where Tiger's parents are serving as aid workers. They have no choice but to pack some clothes and provisions and hotfoot it out of there. They find a guide, put their packs on his donkey, and start walking. But first, Tiger catches the fish in the puddle and puts it in a pot. The fish comes with them.
One might say that one little common fish in a puddle is not that important. Is not worth going out of your way to save. After all, there are a lot of fish in the world. But what about a fish that, other than you, your parents, and your guide, is the only thing left in your little village? For Tiger, what to do is obvious. Save the Fish.
In this book by L. S. Matthews, one could say that there are four people, a donkey, and a fish. I prefer to say that six people set off on a hike to the border, for the donkey is as smart as human and the fish, well... he reminds them of the true meaning of courage and survival.
I would recommend this book to any one 4th grade and up.
