Description

An exceptionally witty and stylish picture book starring a Shakespeare-quoting teenage fish with big ambitions Meet April, a young goldfish seeking worldly adventures and the meaning of life. April doesn’t have an easy time being a goldfish, not least because she is in fact a red fish. A teenager plagued with angst and boredom, April spins round and round in her tank, dreaming of exotic adventures and exciting meetings, while philosophizing Hamlet-style on life's big questions. But how will she ever escape from her glass prison? And where to? Outside, a black cat is waiting for her and a battle of wits ensues. Who will pull off the ultimate April fool?
