A Fishboy Named Sashimi
From bestseller Dan Santat comes a hilarious new graphic novel series starring a creature with the head of a fish, the body of a boy, and the chance to have the best adventure ever!
In the town of Barnacle Bay, a creature lurks. He's come from the ocean, in search of others like him. He is... A FISH BOY NAMED SASHIMI!
To fit in with humans, Sashimi sneaks into an elementary school and pretends to be a student. But he's clearly a fish out of water!
When Sashimi finds out the whole town is on the hunt for the Beast of Barnacle Bay--a creature who sounds a lot like Sashimi--hijinks ensue! Fortunately, with the help of a new friend and the class goldfish, Sashimi figures out a way to stay afloat.
