THE BOY WHO SWAM WITH PIRAHNAS
ALMOND, DAVID & JEFFERS, OLIVER
Stanley Potts’s uncle Ernie has developed an over-the-top fascination with canning fish in the house, and
life at 69 Fish Quay Lane has turned barmy. But there’s darkness in the madness, and when Uncle
Ernie’s obsession takes an unexpectedly cruel turn, Stan has no choice but to leave. As he journeys away
from the life he’s always known, he mingles with a carnival full of eccentric characters and meets the
legendary Pancho Pirelli, the man who swims in a tank full of perilous piranhas. Will Stan be bold enough
to dive in the churning waters himself and choose his own destiny?
