When Charlie heads out onto a misty northern lake with his dad, he's sure today will be special-he's finally fishing with his lucky lure. But when the line snaps and the lure disappears beneath the water, Charlie is heartbroken.
That's when Dad shares a family legend about Jingles, a friendly golden-scaled fish who gathers every lost lure from the lake's depths. Each shimmer below the surface, he explains, is a memory, a reminder to fish with patience and respect for nature.
Inspired by the story, Charlie begins to see the lake differently. He fishes more gently, listens more closely, and learns that some magic is real, even if you can't always see it.
Jingles and the Lucky Lure is a lyrical picture book that celebrates kindness, stewardship, the quiet wonder of the outdoors, and the stories that connect us across generations.
