In the Arctic, a little fish struggles against a girl who wants to capture her. Their contest unfolds above and below the ice as a tug-of-war. Friends join the struggle on both sides, helping determine who gains control. Blue-and-white illustrations, accented with color, frame the confrontation as a humorous battle between the fish and her would-be captor.
