Emily Windsnap is part ordinary girl and part mermaid. In her first and second adventures she finds her long-lost father, makes a mermaid friend and meets a terrifying sea monster. This enchanting fantasy, with its vivid scenes of a brilliantly realized underwater world, tells the story of a delightful and wholly believable girl. Strongly plotted, it deals with universal themes of families, friendship, love and justice - all handled with a lightness of touch and an assurance that marks Liz Kessler out as a highly accomplished writer.
