Bookroo's summary

Nina is determined to break tradition and join her grandfather on his fishing boat, despite his belief that it's no place for a girl. With a promise to handle the bait and catch herself, she finally gets her chance. As the village fishermen watch, Nina learns the ropes and surprises everyone by reeling in the biggest catch of the day. Can she change her grandfather's mind and show that girls belong on the boat too?

From the publisher

Nina can’t convince her Lolo to take her fishing with him on his old banca boat. 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 village, lolo shows Nina how to jig the lines, to set the hook, and to pull in a fish, hand over hand. But no one is laughing when Nina brings in the biggest fish of the day!
