Mali and Puug are on an urgent mission to save the Serpent Guardian before all the salmon disappear from the river in this exciting graphic novel.
It’s time to fish salmon from the river, but Mali and her family are dismayed by the lack of fish. It’s not just them; there just aren’t that many fish this year. Why?
Mali and Puug are on the case! The guardian of the river, a giant serpent, has been poisoned. The human lumber mills from long ago have eaten up the forest and choked the river with logs, poisoning the water. Now the serpent attacks anything and everything, unable to tell friend from foe. The only one who can help is Gluscap, the protector of all living things. But Gluscap has been missing for a long, long time. Can Mali and Puug find him before it’s too late? Will the serpent stay sick forever? Will the salmon ever return?
