Review "An energetic short novel...This book was refreshing to read and will surely entertain and surprise young readers. The content is written well, and children will easily be able to relate to their own classrooms and classroom experiences. The illustrations were interesting to look at and offered excellent visuals to add to the Jamie character. The authors experience as a teacher is evident and realistic. The portrayal of the Jamie character is excellent. Somethings Fishy will be an excellent addition to a school or classroom library. Highly Recommended."-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials" Prizes Commended for CCBC Best Books 2012 (Canada) Review Text "An energetic short novel...This book was refreshing to read and will surely entertain and surprise young readers.
