Poor Tom is an orphan, employed by the underhand Grimes as
a chimney sweep. While cleaning a chimney one day, Tom
becomes lost and appears in Ellie’s bedroom. She mistakes

becomes a water baby, swimming with the other water babies
and discovering an aquatic playground full of strange and
wonderful characters.
