FAIRHOPE, Ala. — Kids who love fishing are in for a treat. The third and final Wise Mullet book, “Goldie’s Search for Silver,” has just been released.

On Nov. 4, from 3:30-5:30 p.m., children’s author Timothy A. Weeks will sign copies at Page & Palette, 32. S. Section St. in Fairhope.

In this fish tale about loyalty, bravery and perseverance, Goldie searches the Gulf Coast for his mullet playmate, Silver, who was lost in a terrible hurricane.

After dodging alligators, escaping cast nets, losing a buddy and finding Silver, the Wise Mullet learns that Pretty Bayou is not a destination, but a state of mind.

Weeks’ last book, “Ol’ Middler Saves the Day,” was nominated for the 2007 SIBA Book Award.

Three years of painting, writing, photo-taking and montage-making went into the creation of “Goldie’s Search for Silver.”

“We waded through swamps, dodged snakes, slapped mosquitoes and paddled up bayous to take the perfect photos for our illustrations,” says Weeks. “From cypress swamps to sandy beaches, it’s the Gulf Coast in all its glory”

Croatian artist Lala Rascic blended Weeks’ photos with the fish paintings of his mother, Jeanne Weeks, to create their unique “mullet montage” illustrations.

Illustrations include area photos taken of Baldwin and Mobile counties, filled with familiar sights of herons, pelicans, redfish and jumping mullet.
