Deep below the surface of Earth's rivers, lakes, and oceans, there exists an underwater world where more than 30,000 species of fish spend their lives swimming and searching for food. Readers will discover how fish can breathe underwater, why their bodies are perfectly suited for swimming, and how they reproduce. They will also find out why some fish thrive at the lowest depths of the ocean while others are right at home in shallow lakes.

Fish is a twelve-year-old boy from a poor farming family who loves to swim and hates to fight. After taking a job as a courier for his uncle, Fish is waylaid by pirates, who steal a precious purse of golden coins. He follows the thieves onto their ship, the Scurvy Mistress, and soon learns that the coins are the key to locating a legendary treasure. As he works to earn the trust of Cobb, the captain of the Scurvy Mistress, Fish struggles to survive among the band of wild, often violent pirates. Eventually Fish and his new friends uncover a planned mutiny headed by a nasty, greedy pirate known as Scab, and they're left to thwart his dastardly plan and hunt down the treasure on their own.
