    About this ebook

    There comes a day in a young childs life when the gift of childhoods magic begins to fade.
    A new firm voice of reason says that the fantastical, the miraculous, are not real and the belief in them is foolish. At that moment, the lights of the world dim,
    there is a deep sadness in a childs heart that goes largely unnoticed...unless he is lucky enough to have a magical grandpa who knows that a childs way of seeing is the souls way of seeing.
    Journey with a boy and his beloved grandpa to the banks of the beautiful Ipswich River as they undertake a mission to see if an old fishermans tale is true, if the catfish that live deep in the rivers still pools really do come out to dance by the light of the full moon. Join them as the grandfather gives to his grandson the gift his own grandfather gave to himkeeping the sacred treasure of the magical as he grows into the real world.

      I SAT DOWN at the side of the trail, wiping sweat from my brow. A mosquito buzzed near my ear, and I swatted it away. Another landed on my arm. I slapped it, leaving a smear of bug innards. I sighed. This was not how I had wanted to spend my summer.

      One summer day, a long, long time ago, probably when your own grandpa was a small boy, a grandpa turned his car onto a driveway and stopped. He got out and called,

      Who’s ready for an adventure?

      I’m ready, Grandpa—I’m ready! cried a small boy as he ran out of the house and jumped down the front steps in his hurry to greet his grandpa. His grandpa scooped him up and hugged him tight.

      Good grief, young man, I swear that you grow every time I turn around. Just like bread dough, you are—I don’t see you for a week and you rise!

      The boy laughed—his grandpa loved to say that.

      The grandpa laughed, too. Well then, he said, grab your duffel bag and your fishing gear, kiss your mother. Let’s be off on our adventure!

      The boy ran to hug and kiss his mother where she stood on the porch, grabbed his duffel bag and fishing rod and jumped into the shiny silver Chevy.

      He loved that car—what boy wouldn’t? It was silver and shiny and a car after all, and don’t all boys love cars? And he thought
