Bribed by three industrious beavers, Carp Lowry convinces the Wave Makers and the Pond Preservation Society-the pond's two chief factions-that the "no dam building" ordinance is archaic. When the sticks start to fly, Gaither's Pond is divided into several splinter groups. But pond harmony is restored when Carp confesses and the Friends of the pond determine to tear down the barriers that divide them.

Something is spooking the inhabitants of Gaither's Pond. Is the villain really as monstrous as it appears or is something fishy going on in the waters of the Pond? The courage of one little dragonfly in braving the culprit teaches all her friends a valuable lesson: God is truly bigger than any fear.
