Everyone agrees --- there's something fishy about the Flots! Toby can't remember a time he didn't live at the seaside hotel. Left there as a small baby, he's grown up without a lot of friends. So when he meets Eliza Flot down by the pier, he takes to her, well, like a fish to water. And when he meets her parents, that tips the scales even more. He practically becomes part of the family. So what if they're mermaids? But Toby's friendship with Eliza arouses suspicion back at the hotel, and soon he has to hatch a plan to keep the Flot's identity a secret. That's when he comes up with the ingenious idea to disguise them as hotel guests, with unexpected - and hilarious - results. From talented newcomer Heather Dyer comes a big-hearted story that younger readers are sure to fall for hook, line, and sinker.
