Although he is an inventor, he has never made anything that works perfectly, and that's because he hasn't yet found a truly fantastic idea. But when he takes his family fishing on Lake Michigan, his daughter Virena asks, Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a fish?--and Papa is off to his workshop. With a lot of persistence and a little bit of help, Papa--who is based on the real-life inventor Lodner Phillips--creates a submarine that can take his family for a trip to the bottom of Lake Michigan.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCandace Fleming\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many picture and young adult books, including \u003ci\u003eBoxes for Katje, Gator Gumbo, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Great and Only Barnum, \u003c\/i\u003ea finalist for the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction.
