The Two-Thousand-Pound Goldfish — Betsy Byars / Betsy Cromer Byars

What lives in the sewer beneath the city, weighs two thousand pounds, and is coming out tonight to get you?

Warren wants to make a horror movie about a gigantic fish that terrorizes the sewers of a big city. Everyone will love it. He'll be famous. He'll have everything. Except his mother.

Warren's mother is wanted by the FBI. And when he finds out that his sister Weezie has been talking to her secretly, he's furious. He hasn't talked to her since she went into hiding. All he has are some postcards -- and the absolute belief that if he could talk to her, she'd come home.

Weezie and his grandmother say he doesn't understand -- the truth is not what he thinks it is. But Warren knows they're wrong...if only he could prove it!
