To Catch a Mermaid

246 pp. | Little | September, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-01816-6 $14.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Catia Chien. Boom Broom is coping with the loss of his mother (who disappeared in a tornado) and its effects on his father and sister, who refuse to leave the house. Everything changes, though, after he finds a merbaby and decides to care for it. The quirky premise is hampered by some uneven pacing. Humorous but muddy black-and-white illustrations open each chapter.
