Wonderful fun book with characters that make you want them to be your friend! Shows that you don't have to be family to be a family and have a love that is real. A great read.

The aunts take care of injured sea creatures - both real and mythical - on their remote island, but they are getting old, and decide to kidnap some children and train them to take their places someday. I don't usually care for this kind of fantasy, but this one is very well done and has an environmental message as well.
