Publisher's Synopsis
"Alright, team! Gather 'round!" Aiden shouted, waving his arms for attention.
Wyatt adjusted his glasses, "What's the plan, Aiden? Are we doing the 'Secret Fish Dance' again?" Brooks burst into laughter. "Oh, you mean the dance you made up last summer. I'm not sure if it's the fish that were enchanted or just us laughing so hard, we scared them all away!" Cora rolled her eyes playfully. "Can we please focus? I want to catch the biggest fish! Then we can have a fish feast tonight!" "Fish feast?" Brooks exclaimed, rubbing his hands together. "I can already taste the fishy goodness. But first, we need to catch them!" With that, they set off, each dragging their backpacks filled with snacks, fishing rods, and a secret stash of gummy worms-just in case the fish were feeling particularly picky. As they walked, they shared stories of their past adventures, each tale more exaggerated than the last. "I caught a fish as big as a shark!" Aiden proclaimed, puffing out his chest. Wyatt raised an eyebrow. "More like a minnow, Aiden." "I'll have you know, it was a 'shark' of a minnow!" Aiden retorted, making the other three laugh. When they finally reached Crystalline Lake, the sight was breathtaking. The water sparkled like thousands of diamonds under the sun, and the trees surrounding it seemed to whisper secrets to one another. Cora took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh, earthy scent. "This is it, guys. Let's make some magic happen!"
