<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>After moving to the peculiar coastal town of Topsea, new kid Davy and the rest of his fifth-grade class uncover the town's secrets through a series of linked tales they find in newspaper articles, stories, surveys, notifications, and more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Welcome to Topsea, the strangest place you'll ever visit.</b> <p/>In this town, the coves are bottomless and the pier has no end in sight. There's a high tide and a low tide . . . <i>and</i> a vanishing tide. Dogs are a myth, but mermaids are totally real. And seaweed is the main ingredient in every meal-watch out, it might just start chewing you back! <p/>New kid Davy <i>definitely</i> thinks Topsea is strange. His mom keeps saying they'll get used to life in their new town-it's just the way things are on the coast! But after his first day at Topsea School, Davy finds himself wondering: Why is his locker all the way at the bottom of the school swimming pool? Why can't anyone remember his name? (It's <i>Davy</i>!) And why does everyone act like all of this is normal?! <p/>Through newspaper articles, stories, surveys, notifications, and more, follow Davy and the rest of Ms. Grimalkin's fifth grade class through the weird world of Topsea. (Whatever you do, don't make eye contact with the rubber ducks.)<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] mix of chills and chuckles."--<i><b>Kirkus</b></i><br><br>"This story [is] a gateway for children to see themselves and to feel seen, as well as a celebration of individuality and friendship." --<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kir Fox</b> (Kirsten Hubbard) and <b>M.
