(4) 1-3 Black-and-white illustrations accompany this story about an orphan boy named Toby who discovers a merfolk family living in a dank cave. Toby invites them to stay--in disguise--in the hotel where he lives. Plenty of humor and strong characterizations are almost enough to overcome the nagging question: don't mermaids belong in the sea?
