About the Book

Past and present entwine to share wondrous events that bring us closer to our source. Magical encounters and scientific discovery merge seamlessly in this adventurous story.

The setting: beside a lake a young native boy plays musical bones, an ancient pastime handed down by elders and ancestors while fishing. When the boy catches a catfish and forms a friendship he discovers a prehistoric whale who tells stories of the mysteries of life, survival, coming-of-age, the great outdoors, and Mother Nature.

Inspired by Chumash mythology, Pahat's Fishing Adventure is based on a true story — the author's discovery of California's first fossilized, 25 million-year-old, toothed baleen whales in Ojai, California, January, 2000, Los Angeles County Museum Specimen 148806.
