Tim's whole family would agree that his uncle drinks like a fish. As time progressed, Tim began noticing other things about his uncle, such as flippers, gills and a tail. Finally, one day Tim realized: his uncle was, in fact, a fish. Now the only problem is, no one in his family believes him. Neither an incompetent oceanographer, a hot-headed government teacher, nor an inexperienced gang of pirates can stop Tim on his quest for the truth.
