Along with his friends, a grumpy old albatross, a short-sighted mermaid, and a friendly island called Cliff, Oliver sets out to rescue his missing parents. On their perilous journey the friends meet evil islands, a boy called Stacey (not a girl's name) and more sea monkeys than you can wave some seaweed at.

I thought Oliver and Cliff were very brave by standing up for themselves against bullies.

I like this book because it has so many sea adventures. In one of the sea adventures,Oliver finds a seawig that is alive and a blind mermaid .I also like the part when Oliver saved all the seawigs from the therlstone and I like the bit where Oliver tickled the therlstone. I also like the part where Oliver, the mermaid (Iris) and Cliff (the seawig) found the water mole (submerine).

This is a lovely story that a boy and girl would enjoy. All about life at sea and friendships formed. A great read
