When twelve-year-old Sawyer and nine-year-old Elvira's mother goes into a decline after their father dies and a fish swallows her wedding ring, brother and sister and a cadre of friends set out to catch Ol' One Eye, the biggest catfish in the bayou. The authors capture the cadences and ambiance of the Mississippi Delta in a satisfying quest/tall tale/coming-of-age novel.
