Publisher's Note
In the overlapping years when childhood and adolescence blend, nothing is certain and everything is changing. Now award-winning author Avi creates seven portraits of life in the middle-school years. In "What Do Fish Have to Do with Anything", William wonders why he shouldn't ask questions that have no answers. Is it because he might discover the truth?

Industry reviews
"The stories are direct and explanatory, without the vignettish subtleties that sometimes go over the heads of young readers, and the points will be clear even to the literarily inexperienced."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (10/19/1997)

"It's unfortunate that 'What Do Fish Have to Do with Anything?' is relegated to the Young Adult section of most bookstores, because its stories are better written and more imaginative than many short stories for adults."
Boston Book Review - Erik Kraft (03/19/1998)

"Appealingly varied in tone and narrative voice, rich in character insights, and replete with imaginatively presented ideas, these tales offers something to please almost everyone."
