The narrator has befriended Jimmy, a swimmer who is proud of his Native American culture. Jimmy, however, has made bitter enemies with the rest of the close-minded team. After a plan is hatched to steal a wooden fish-artifact that hangs on Jimmy's wall, it sets the stage for an intense psychological finish.



Raw and powerful, THE FISH PADDLE delves into themes such as social anxiety, peer pressure, individuality, ethnic identity, drug abuse, and bullying.
