In the quiet, sunbaked landscape of 1970s Central Florida, the truest lessons aren't spoken - they're found and lived.
For young Casey, summer at her parent's lakeside fish camp is measured by the gentle rhythms of nature and the warmth of a family that loves her. This is a place of shared stories; one where she drifts between the quirks and wisdom of the older fishermen who frequent the docks and the vibrant wildlife of the lake.
But deep within Casey stirs a fierce spirit of independence. Armed with her own rod and a quiet resolve, she sets out alone into the hidden corners of the water, chasing the shadow of a gigantic, legendary bass.
What follows is more than a young girl's quest for a mythical catch. Casey embarks on a journey of self-reliance to ultimately discover a simple, eternal truth that binds us all to the wild.
Weaving atmospheric reverence with rich nostalgia, Casey and the Big Bass is a story of the beautiful innocence of childhood and the enduring magic of the natural world.
A profound piece of coming-of-age fiction that will speak to young and old alike, it is a contemplative yet evocative blend of Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea and Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse: elemental in its simplicity, generous in its wisdom, and suffused with a reverence for the natural world that stays with a reader long after the last page.
