Every summer the salmon return to spawn in the streams of Kodiak Island, Alaska. Nine-year-old Alex, a Native Aleut, comes here to fish with his family. As his ancestors found, there's enough salmon for all. There's salmon for the bears and eagles to catch, and for the foxes, magpies, and gulls to scavenge. Best of all, there's salmon to feed Alex's family and salmon to bait a line to catch a fish much bigger than any salmon.
Bruce McMillan's consistently outstanding photography reveals a faraway place seen by few outsiders, in this engaging story of an Alaska Native boy's summer in the wilderness at his family's fishing camp.
