Avi serves up a
collection of seven intriguing short stories that are sure to
please his fans.  

In the title story, a boy named Willie talks to a beggar that
everybody else pretends they don't see. What does he learn from
this beggar that other people don't understand --- and what do fish
have to do with it?

In "The Goodness of Matt Kaizer," Matt brags that he's one bad
dude. Then he discovers something about himself that alarms him.
When you read "Pets," you'll wonder whether Eve's two cats, Angel
and Shadow, are her pets --- or if she is really theirs. Do you
want to know how to make your teacher stop picking on you? In
"Teacher Tamer," Gregory finds out. And it really works!

Do you want to know what Parker's "Fortune Cookie" tells him, and
whether it's good news or bad? What about those mysterious phone
calls Maria gets, always at 4:00 in the afternoon, when she says,
"Talk to Me," but nobody says anything? "What's Inside" the box
Danny opens? Will it make him do something? Does he want to do
it?

WHAT DO FISH HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? AND OTHER STORIES is a book
of wisdom, humor, and eerie mystery. Every story grabs you and
pulls you inside; but when it lets you go, you're glad you read
it.
