* “Accessible to middle-grade readers…The Cod’s Tale considers how the cod fits into human history. Excellent ink drawings, brightened with colorful washes, illustrate incidents from the text with clarity, a flair for the dramatic, and a sense of humor.”
—Booklist, starred review
What was it that enabled the Vikings, Christopher Columbus, and the Pilgrims to cross the cold Atlantic Ocean to America? What became a staple of the medieval diet in Europe, helped spur the American Revolution, and allowed the early New Englanders to start making money of their own?

“Breezy, kid-friendly prose…fascinating and informative…bound to hook young readers.”
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
An ALA Notable Book
Includes suggestions for further reading, factual sidebars, and timeline
