Hand Over Hand | Alma Fullerton

2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read

Nina can't convince her lolo to take her fishing on the old banca boat with him. Lolo's reply is the same as always: "A boat is no place for a girl." When Nina promises to bait her own hook and remove her own catch, her grandfather finally relents, "just for today." Much to the amusement of the other fishermen in their Filipino village, Lolo shows Nina how to jig the lines, set the hook and pull in a fish hand over hand. But no one is laughing when Nina brings in the biggest fish of the day!

#SoaringScores Day 16: This is a #LeavingPort book - Set in a remote fishing village in the Philippines, Nina persisted and convinced her Lolo that she is perfectly capable of baiting her own hook and removing her own fish - even if she is a girl. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-jeX

I‘m sure you have heard it befor, but girls can not fish. Or at least that is what people think in Nina‘s fishing village. Her Lolo agrees to take her out, and she leans that she can fish if she takes her time and goes hand over hand. Not quite what I thought this book would be, but it is lovely, and it works.

Seshat Sounds lovely. I should get it for my nieces. Also, *coughs* https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipNUdQIxwteU0hoCToeeD8qVaKH-bId5zZET3BL9/pho... 8y

LibrarianRyan @Seshat I get an error message on your link. ☹️ 8y

Seshat Ah. Sorry. Google Photos can be a pain. It is a picture of me as a kid with fish and the link works for me but it must be a sharing setting issue. Try this link, @LibrarianRyan https://goo.gl/photos/SdedBbguuqoTqDAE7 8y
