The Adventures of Coal & Andy
Charlie the Catfish
by Mark M. Dean
Coal Coalson and Andy Anderson are two cousins setting out on the riverside adventure of their lives! The ornery ten and eight year olds have swallowed their PawPaw's fishing "tail" hook, line, and sinker, about Charlie, a legendary GIGANTIC catfish. This yellow-finned catfish is "as Big as a house and as long as a tree." And as the story goes, has "eaten bicycles, a helmet and many a shoe." The mischievous boys spend a hot summer's day creating a tale of their own, exploring the river from above and below the surface in pursuit of the catch of a lifetime. "Charlie the Catfish" takes us back to those carefree summer adventures that become mystical family tales passed down from generation to generation. Mark M. Dean, Author
