 ABOUT SASHIMI 
From bestseller and Caldecott Medal winner Dan Santat comes a new graphic novel series that is "a hilarious and beautifully illustrated tale of friendship, adventure and mystery. Sashimi is FRESH!!!" (Dav Pilkey, creator of Dog Man)

In the town of Barnacle Bay, a creature lurks. He’s come from the ocean, in search of others like him. He is… a fishboy named SASHIMI!
To fit in with humans, Sashimi sneaks into an elementary school and pretends to be a student. But he’s clearly a fish out of water!

When Sashimi finds out the whole town is on the hunt for the Beast of Barnacle Bay—a creature who sounds a lot like Sashimi—hijinks ensue! Fortunately, with the help of a new friend and the class goldfish, Sashimi figures out a way to stay afloat.
Perfect for fans of Bad Guys, Sharkdog, and The Investigator series!
