When young Sylvanus joins a group of boys on a fishing trip, they spend the entire day trying to catch fish using handmade bamboo hooks and river bait. But after hours of waiting, not a single fish is caught.

On the walk home, something unexpected happens - one of the hooks becomes stuck in Sylvanus' shorts without him noticing. The boys burst into laughter, and Oliver, the oldest boy in the group, gives him a nickname he would never forget:

"Fish."

Filled with friendship, laughter, African village life, and unforgettable childhood adventure, The Boy Called Fish is a heartwarming story for children and families everywhere.
