A very fun, sweet, and diverse little adventure under the sea! I really liked the blend of fiction with reality and just all the little plot moments. I'm excited to read more in this world.

This book, man. It was a full tidal wave of childhood that hit me right where it hurts. I was so scared going in that I wouldn't enjoy it anymore, that I was too old for Rick's writing, but this is the first book I've genuinely enjoyed in a long, long time. I'm so sad it's over, I'm fully just sobbing as I'm writing this. Thank you so much, Rick. I owe you my whole entire childhood.  (Also, I love that this is literally just published fanfiction).

I had a really hard time getting into this. Honestly the last 80 pages were nice but the rest of the book was so boring and so bland and even the gasp in shock factor moments didn’t capture me enough to keep reading like I would read the gasp moment then set the book down because I simply did not care. This book did not feel like a Rick book to me and it was a bit sad but I didn’t wanna DNF it I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. But I’ve finished it now annnnnd that’s that.
