The giant pike actually becomes the most compelling and interesting character in the book, which is interesting because he's almost introduced to us like a villain or antagonist—a force that might destroy the ecosystem of the pond by eating the other fish. In a nice turn, the giant pike becomes an extremely sympathetic and relatable character who just wants to be free.
Jonty and the Giant Pike is an exciting and thought-provoking children's book by Tuula Pere.
