Imagine starting your day just like you do every day, expecting to see the same old things. But what if one day everything changed? What strange and unusual things do you think you would see?
Let your imagination take over as Max discovers more than just leaves and birds in the trees. On this day he will introduce you to many different fish of all different colours, doing different things, all while sitting in the trees. This is the story of 15 fish sitting in a tree.

Stacey Davidson was raised in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, growing up in the "P" Patch. She has called Amherstburg, Ontario, home since 1996, where she and her husband Michael have raised their two beautiful children, Rachelle and Katie. Amherstburg is one of the most beautiful places to live, so she is incredibly proud to say that she is from there and to be a part of such an awesome community. Spending time with her family and friends is what makes Stacey happy. Her parents and siblings all reside in the Sault, so much of her vacation time is spent there with her mom and dad, Wayne and Cathie Bishop, and her extended family, including her siblings, Mark, Susan and Richard. Rhyming and riddles have always come easily to Stacey, so she has used this talent to write and to create stories, poems and even road-rally scavenger hunts.

Carey Smith, first time novelist, is from a small Northern Ontario town. With the support of her husband and her 2 adult children creating this fictional actionpacked novel has been on her bucket list and has been a topic of conversation for over 20 years. With her love of crime shows, Carey draws on her personal connection to Northern Ontario in hopes to make the novel as realistic as possible.

Tess, a bank manager, is offered a "special project" which requires her to travel to Chapleau, a remote town in Northern Ontario, which will put her on one of the most dangerous roads in the North. Excited for the challenge, Tess and her bank team are tasked with opening a branch in the small northern town so a local gold company can use the branch as a distribution point to transport their refined gold to the city of Sault Falls. After Tess catches her husband in bed with another woman, she builds a relationship with a younger man named Jake. As Tess and Jake's relationship flourishes, they begin planning a gold heist. This adventure has many twists and turns, and, in the end, their adventure turns to survival.

The route is isolated and lightly travelled throughout its length; while providing access to several remote settlements, the only sizable communities along the route are the two termini.
