Bookroo's summary

In the bayou, fisherman Jack catches a magic fish that grants wishes. While Jack is content, his wife Jolie dreams big—mansions, fame, and fortune. But when she wishes to be Mardi Gras queen, the stakes rise. Will their desires unravel their world, or is there a limit to what the fish can do? Dive into a tale of wishes, wonder, and the consequences of unchecked ambition.

From the publisher

Deep in the bayou, a Cajun fisherman named Jack catches a magic fish that offers to grant wishes in exchange for being set free. Jack doesn’t have a lot of wishes, but his wife Jolie sure does–for a mansion, a paddleboat, fame and fortune! With each wish, all the fish says is “Ah, tooloulou–if that ain’t the easiest thing to do.” But when Jolie wants to be crowned Mardi Gras queen, have things gone too far?
