In 1975, Sam Candage, a fatherless twelve-year-old boy with learning challenges, strains to learn to read and write. Alone, he finds solace in nature, fishing and exploring his favorite creek. Sam finds himself falling behind in school until he meets a wise and kind man who, through the sport of fly fishing, teaches him about biology, stewardship, and the true meaning of friendship. When the mentor teaches Sam how to read, the boy’s life is changed forever.

"In my 25 years teaching middle and high school students with dyslexia, finding novels that emotionally engage students has been a challenge. The Sage of Dibbin Creek is a warm, rich story that will grab and hold the students' attention from beginning to end." Carin M. Illig, Clinical Directro, Children's Dyslexia Centers, Inc.
