A King Salmon Journey

Two thousand miles is a staggering distance for any kind of journey. But imagine making it not by car or even footÂ—but by fin. Thatâ€™s what faces Chinook, a female king salmon, as she takes a dramatic trip to safely deliver her eggs. From the Bering Sea, up the Yukon River, and on to the Nisutlin River, A King Salmon Journey takes young readers on an engaging ride through the waters of Alaska and Canada, bringing to life the biologyÂ—and mysteryÂ—of one of the worldâ€™s most popular fish. Based on the story of a real-life Chinook, this beautifully illustrated book deftly combines science with a fast-paced tale of survival and perseverance.
