I read Deep Trouble when I was in middle school and loved it just because it featured a mermaid. A couple years later I saw that they made the TV version and I was thrilled. I couldn't wait to see how they would portray the mermaid, etc. I watched the entire thing and not ONE mermaid-they didn't even MENTION mermaids. The story line is completely different then "Deep Trouble". I read another review and they said the story was more like "Deep Trouble II". If that is the case WHY DIDN'T THEY CALL IT "DEEP TROUBLE II"!!!! Obviously I was very let down...
