Synopsis

Toby lives a lonely life in his pyjamas at the seaside hotel where he was abandoned as a baby - until the day he's sent down to the beach to look for Cook's lost laundry. Instead, he finds a pale, thin girl, lying at the water's edge with a long green tail swaying gently in the shallows. Eliza Flot is a stranded mermaid and she needs his help. Toby takes to her like a fish to water, and when he meets her noisy parents he practically becomes part of the family. But Toby's new friendship arouses suspicion back at the hotel. If only Toby and the Flots can come up with a plan to rescue each other.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This whimsical novel about a boy and a mermaid family is now out in paperback! Young readers will fall for this tale hook, line, and sinker. As PW says: "Just right for newly independent readers."

Everyone agrees-there's something fishy about the Flots!
Toby can't remember a time he didn't live at the hotel by the sea. Left there as a baby, he's grown up without a family of his own. So when he meets Eliza Flot down by the pier, he takes to her like a fish to water. When he gets to know her parents, that tips the scales even more. In fact, Toby practically joins the family. So what if they're mermaids? But when Toby's friendship with Eliza arouses suspicion,Toby decides to disguise the Flots as hotel guests. But disguising a family with fins and tails is tougher than Toby thinks!
