Synopsis
What would you do if your dad packed up your family and moved you from Los Angeles to the northwoods of Wisconsin so he could try to catch a giant fish?
Dad had a crazy idea: spend an entire season, 200 days, fishing for a monster musky, the legendary "fish of 10,000 casts." So the family left the city noise behind for a summer of lakes, loons, pine trees, and long days in a small fishing boat.
Out on the water, something unexpected happened. Lindy fell in love with the northwoods. Come along for an adventure about big fish, wild places, and the best catch of all: time together.
Time on the Water with Dad is a true-story-inspired illustrated first chapter book for ages 6–10 about a girl, her fishing-obsessed father, and the summer that changed how she saw the world. Written by Lindy (Gardner) Neubauer from her own childhood memories in the northwoods of Wisconsin, it is a warm family adventure and a gentle introduction to fishing and the outdoors.
Why parents and kids love it:
- 17 short, readable chapters, ideal for ages 6–10, for early readers moving into chapter books, and for read-aloud bedtime stories
- Black-and-white illustrations throughout that bring the lakes, boats, and fish to life
- A relatable story about adjusting to a new place, trying something new, and discovering that you belong in the wild
- Real fishing details, from spinner baits to the way a musky hangs motionless in the water, for kids who love the outdoors
- A father-daughter story about time, patience, and paying attention to what matters
- An Author's Note for Parents at the back, with the real story behind the book
Perfect for:
- Kids ages 6–10 who love fishing, boats, lakes, camping, and nature
- Families who spend summers at the lake or up north
- Young readers ready for their first chapter book
- Gifts for birthdays, holidays, Father's Day and fishing and outdoor loving families
- Grandparents, dads, and anyone who wants to share the outdoors with a child
The book is a tribute to Lindy's father, Bill Gardner, author of the fishing classic Time on the Water. Their story shows that the best memories are not about the fish you catch. They are about who is sitting in the boat with you.
