I certainly didn’t expect this book to be as good as it is. What a fabulously written story!
Joseph Malin loves his grandmother’s fried fish and hits open the idea of selling them to make more money for his struggling immigrant Jewish family. His neighbour Annette, a greengrocer, finds that Joseph’s fried fish is affecting the business at her shop. She hits on the idea of using her own family recipe of fried potatoes and selling them. One fine day, when the twain meet, we discover how fish and chips came into being.
The story is wonderfully penned. Right from the first page to the last, it holds your attention. The language is quite simple and hence easy to understand for little readers. The illustrations add further magic to the book. They are fabulous and support the narrative flow perfectly.
I simply adored this fictional take on the origin of fish and chips and would heartily recommend it to independent readers aged 6+.

This is such an important historically relevant story which tells the importance of adult education for those adults who had missed out a chance of getting to learn how to read and write.
I love the presentation of the story. The characters are represented so well in this short story.
The illustrations are amazing!

I want to see where the story could go for here, and personally, fingers crossed for a sequel! Overall, I loved this book, and I recommend it if you're into historical fiction.

A delightful and interesting retelling of a story! The artwork is absolutely stunning and the story is very interesting. I found the retelling with it’s alternative ending to be a nice read for kids! I would definitely recommend it! It deals with friendship, forgiveness, and how misunderstandings and unresolved arguments can be destructive to friendships.

This is a really nice and heartwarming story about a boy who really values the blanket he got from his grandfather as a baby, and the way the two of them bond by continuing to create new ways to preserve it. It really brought a smile to my face!
