'Mermin the merman from Meri? That's the question Pete and his friends ask after finding the fish-boy washed up on the beach! Mermin just escaped the undersea kingdom of Mer, and is ready to have some fun on dry land! Mermin is a little odd: he can talk to fish, and packs quite a punch. But why would this aquatic kid be afraid to swim? Perhaps it has something to do with the fishy pursuers who have followed him from the depths below!'--Cover [p. 4]
