Work in progress. Banging out chapters for a middle grade audience. I’ll want to tweak the title and synopsis, but here’s a start:

Soon after Christopher Fischer (a.k.a. Fish) meets new fifth-grader Monty Peregrine, a man dressed in underwear enters the Sweet Life Cafe and orders pants.

Who is this half-naked stranger? And what’s his connection to Monty, who’s illustrations go on to make Fish’s stories the talk of the town?

Eccentric parents gone missing in search of alien life, older brother chasing a scholarship to ‘The Academy,’ Fish is on his own to find the answers.

What he discovers may be more valuable than the truth.

I, Fisheye—summer ’18.
