Ten-year-old Lenno has brought home a new addition to his aquarium – an angelfish. They have a lot in common. Lenno has long been dealing with his propensity for violent behaviour and must attend a school for troubled children. The angelfish is known for the aggression with which it attacks other fish in its aquarium home. Lenno understands the fish. It is not easy for him to be a “good boy” and to live by the rules of society. He listens to his father’s advice with defiance, and he is troubled both by the fact that he is not like his brother and because he does not see his mother very often. Can Lenno and his fish find their place among the others? (One World)
