At first, Clee's visit with her uncle Hal is a disappointment; she's dismayed by his messiness, his lopsided barge, and his faulty sailor's knots. But after the barge floats unexpectedly out to sea, Clee comes to appreciate Fishtank Hal's outlook on life. The sunlit illustrations for this satisfying story deftly portray the setting as well as the characters' personalities.
