With his freckled face and bright red gills, Boris lives deep in the waters of Lake Xochimilco, dreaming of a family to call his own.

Far away, two brothers—Lewis and Michael—are wishing for an axolotl. But first, they must prepare! To create the safest home for Boris, they take on a big adventure—battling the pesky Ammonia Monsters, the sly Nitrite Knights, and the loyal Nitrate Guardians.

This fun and heartwarming story gently teaches young readers about axolotl care, water safety, and the power of rescue.

An adventure full of learning, love, and second chances—Boris is ready to find his forever home!
