About This Book

A seaside holiday sends a group of children into unexpected enchantment when an aquarium and their fascination with the sea unlock watery magic. They discover a captured sea-dweller and mount a daring rescue, visit a mermaid household, and confront strange phenomena as skies and waters behave oddly. Conflicts escalate into a battle among water creatures and encounters with living books and hidden underfolk complicate their journey. Through ingenuity and compassion a mediating figure halts hostilities and restores balance, and the children learn about responsibility, gratitude, and the consequences of meddling with forces beyond their understanding.
