Booktalk: In a small coastal town, Finn is enduring a winter vacation with his annoying new stepmother, wishing things could go back to how they were, while Sage is enjoying her new home, wishing things would stay as they are.
Finn has seen mysterious swimmers in the sea late at night. Then, from the clifftop, first Sage, then Finn, hears an eerie song. Could the local legend of merfolk living amid the waves actually be true? When the new friends meet the magical sea-people, they are amazed and impressed, but the merfolk are hiding a secret. The two human children must put aside their own problems and help in the battle against the young merfolk’s ancient underwater enemy before the last of their kind are lost forever.

Finn opened his mouth to remind her that he was twelve, not four, but caught his father’s warning glance in the car mirror. He flushed, remembering the scene last month. Dad’s voice had been firm, and his eyes sad. “Finn, I love you to bits. But I’m really disappointed in your behaviour. You need to stop begins rude to Lizzy. It’s upsetting her very much. She’s so keen that you two get on. And she’s my wife, Finn. I’ll not have her insulted in her own home.”
