Illustrated by
Rebekah Raye.
Migrating alewives--silver-green herrings--encounter a new obstacle on the path to their freshwater breeding ground until a boy and his father come to their rescue. Shetterly balances facts and descriptive details with aplomb. Raye's soft watercolors don't always capture the story's urgent tone, but they depict a wide array of animals in their natural habitats. An author's note adds more scientific information.
