Ridley Bluefox and the Flying Fish of Fortune Falls
Carrie Percy
2007

Local Hespeler teacher Carrie Percy is the author of this fun book for all those fishing obsessed kids in your life.

Ridley Bluefox is a world famous fisherman and adventure lover. He has been featured on the cover of 14 magazines, traveled all over the world in pursuit of exotic and difficult to catch fish, won many great fishing trophies and is generally up for any kind of adventure – especially those that involve a fishing pole and bait…all this by the tender age of 12. Ridley is overwhelmed with excitement when he hears about the flying fish of Fortune Falls – fish that no one has every caught before. This is a challenge worthy of Ridley who “ had never met a fish he couldn’t catch”. The adventure begins.

Percy manages to capture the excitement Ridley feels as he tries to figure out how he can get to Pingu Ma – the mysterious island within an island where the flying fish live. Percy includes page by page “fishnotes” to help explain unusual vocabulary for her readers. Recommend for kids in grades 3 – 6, especially those who love to fish.
