The Young

Stan’s Uncle Ernie has developed an extraordinary fascination with canning fish, and life at 69 Fish Quay Lane has turned barmy! Then barmy becomes barbaric, and Stan runs away with the fair, where he finds himself a new kind of family: Dostoyevsky and Nitasha from the hook-a-duck, the mysterious Gypsy Rose, and the legendary Pancho Pirelli, the man who swims with piranhas. Finally, Stan has a chance to shine; to be the person he was meant to be. But does he have the courage to dive into the churning, swirling waters of the piranha tank?

Well, I can only say I was jolly proud of that tin canoe I'd made with my own hands and had painted pitch black with some tarry goo I found in an old bucket after the road workers had been busy in our area. I was always on cloud nine when I could go onto the lake and gaze at all the birds and waterfowl on the open water and in the various passages winding among the reeds. To be honest, to me the lake was like a little paradise where I could always escape when things got too rough for me on the home front. But maybe I should've taken serious note of Captain Hook’s warnings at the time, because of the ghastly drama that was to take place later on . . .
