Description
Emily Windsnap lives on a boat, but her mother has always been anxious to keep her out of the water. It is only when Emily has her first school swimming lesson that she discovers why: as soon as she gets into the water, she grows a tail!
Soon Emily discovers a glorious underwater world of fishes, coral, shipwrecks and mermaids, and, best of all, she finds a best friend in mermaid Shona Silkfin. Together, they uncover a surprising family secret and embark on a quest to reunite her mum and dad.
This enchanting fantasy deals with universal themes of family, friendship, love and justice, handled with the lightness of touch that Liz Kessler is known for.
