Customer Reviews

Sequel please!

This was a great read-a-loud for my daughter and I. She even did a class diorama book report on this book to encourage other students in her school to give it a try. We love that this story demonstrates that greedy people always get their due!

A truly endearing and whimsical story

Toby has always lived at the hotel by the sea, where he's grown up as an abandoned child. His meeting with Eliza Flot and her mermaid family complicates his life, however: soon Toby finds his secret more than he can handle on his own, and changes begin. The Fish In Room 11 is a truly endearing and whimsical story of a most unusual friendship.
