Bookroo's summary

Joe loves fishing, but his dad doesn't share the passion. When a school trip requires a chaperone, his dad reluctantly joins. As they wait on the ice, conversations and laughter unfold, revealing a newfound connection. Will this trip change their relationship forever?

From the publisher

Joe loves fishing. He loves watching the water and looking at the sky, he loves the peacefulness, and he especially loves dreaming about catching the Big One. Joe’s dad does not love fishing. He doesn’t like the waiting, or the worms, or the fact that nothing much happens. But when Joe needs a parental chaperone for an ice-fishing field trip, his dad agrees to go along. And when the waiting turns into talking, exchanging jokes, and sharing hot chocolate, Joe’s dad discovers something unexpected. He doesn’t just like fishing with Joe—he loves it. You could even say he’s hooked.
