KIRKUS -- Humans and sea people teeter on the brink of war over diminishing resources. For years, the human inhabitants of Atlantis have lived peacefully alongside Mer, their green, gilled sea-people neighbors. They shared in the bounty of the precious energeodes, which powered their cities. However, as energeode supplies dwindle, tensions between the once-harmonious peoples become strained. With the escalating stresses, both the Atlanteans and the people of Mer start to suspect one another of even more wrongdoings. Mermin, the small, wide-eyed, and eternally cheery heir to the Mer throne and friend of Pete, a human kid with light-brown skin, finds himself in the middle of the conflict and must learn to summon the power of the sea to save his friend and his kingdom. Weiser has assembled a wholly enjoyable cast of characters and crafted a zippy tale perfectly suited to graphic storytelling. His rounded, bubbly, and altogether eye-catchingly cute marine inhabitants are awash in a pleasing blend of cool oceanic hues. Although this is the fifth and final volume in the series, it's a fine jumping-in point for new readers, as it encapsulates a complete-feeling arc-explaining the Mer/Atlantean conflict from its beginnings and progressing through its battles to its resolution-and offers enough back story about characters to satisfy those unfamiliar with previous escapades.<br /> <br /> A buoyant undersea adventure. (Graphic fantasy/adventure. 6-11)<br /><br /><br />

The battle between Mer and Atlantis begins! And while Mermin is at his father's side, the rest of his friends and family are scattered around the battlefield, trying to help in any way they can. Except for Pete, who's about to stage a jailbreak out of Atlantis with a team of Mer-prisoners! Will they make it to Mer in time to stop the war?
