<p><strong>George wakes up in the wrong water - and he is <em>not</em> happy about it.</strong></p><p>One moment George the cranky guppy is complaining about his perfectly fine tank. The next, he's stuck in the strange, salty water of the brackish bog, where the water "has opinions" and a talking mangrove root named Groovy keeps calling him <em>friend</em>. George is sure everyone is wrong and he is right. He always is.</p><p>But something really is wrong. George feels it in his gills - a pinch, a wrongness he can't explain. The other fish just think he's being difficult, the way he always is. Only Yechiel, the kind old fishery-farm manager, stops to <em>watch</em>. And what an expert notices, with patience and a few careful tests, turns out to be the one thing nobody else could see.</p><p><strong>A funny, warm, scientifically real adventure for kids ages 7-10</strong> - and the first book in <em>Yechiel's Fishery Farm</em>, a chapter-book series where every character's personality grows straight out of real fish biology.</p><p><strong>Written by a marine biologist with nearly 50 years of real fish stories</strong>, this series teaches genuine aquarium and marine science - salinity, gill stress, how fish acclimate to new water - without ever sounding like a lesson. The science is woven into the laughter.</p><p><strong>Designed for kids who find reading hard.</strong> Short paragraphs, dyslexia-friendly fonts, generous spacing, and one clear thought at a time make this a chapter book that reluctant and dyslexic readers can actually finish - and want to.</p><p><strong>Perfect for: </strong> young animal lovers, future scientists, aquarium and fish-tank families, STEM read-alouds, classrooms, homeschoolers, and any child who's ever felt like the odd one out.</p><p><em>The gentle heart of the story: </em> caring means noticing when someone is uncomfortable - before you decide they're just being difficult.</p>
