(4) YA Rudy's family moves to a remote island to benefit from magically curative Enki fish, which ease his brother's cystic fibrosis, but when Rudy becomes involved with merboy Teeth, his divided loyalties endanger his brother's supply of the fish. Though a combination of implausible plot elements defy belief, gritty language and an undercurrent of sexual abuse gives this hard-hitting fantasy a real-world edge.
