Emily Windsnap lives on a boat,but her mother has always been oddly 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! With mermaid Shona Silkfin by her side,Emily uncovers a surprising family secret and embarks on a quest to reunite her mum and dad. This enchanting fantasy deals with universal themes of family,friendship,love and justice - all handled with the lightness of touch for which Liz Kessler is so well known.
