Eddie is a black and white freshwater Angelfish. He lives in an aquarium with nine other fish. The aquarium is in an apartment in a large city. These fish are intelligent and can think, reason, and speak. They have personalities, feelings, fears, and anxieties brought on by living everyday inside their tiny world. Eddie is the most intelligent fish and he is different in a special way. All the others were born in pet stores, but not Eddie. Eddie was born in the wild, in a large lake. One day, years ago, Eddie and some brothers and sisters were captured by a man in a boat with a net. Then Eddie's life changed very much. He was moved from one pet shop to another, very uncomfortable for him. Then a man bought him and put him in his aquarium in his apartment. Eddie remembers and never forgets his parents, brothers and sisters, and the lake he called home. He remembers freedom. He wholeheartedly believes that he can get back to freedom, back to his family, and back to the lake. He even has a plan to escape the aquarium, and he wants to take his wife, Anna, with him. Freedom was taken away from Eddie by some man he didn't even know existed, and he's determined to get it back, somehow. But how can a little angelfish escape from an aquarium in an apartment? And even if he could, how could he get back to the lake where he was born? Eddie teaches us, where there's a will there's a way. He teaches us to never give up on your dreams, and maybe, they will come true. If you want to join Eddie's unique and awesome adventure, the only way to do so is to read "Eddie's Great Escape".
