Winner of the Children's Books Ireland Book of the Year, a laugh-out-loud picture book all about fish and how we absolutely mustnot trust them, illustrated by New York Times bestseller and Caldecott Medal-winning Dan Santat.

Have you ever noticed that fish spend all of their time under water? What are they plotting down there? And did you know that a group of fish is called a ‘school’? Exactly what are they learning in these ‘schools’? We must find answers. But one thing’s for sure. Whatever you do: Don’t. Trust. Fish.
