The Tail of Emily Windsnap
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.

Review:
A great read ... we were gripped from the first chapter (Mizz)
Wonderfully inventive (Daily Express)
Fresh and funny (The Times)
Wonderfully imaginative ... like real life, the story has an everyday cheerful bumpy side, and a hidden side of deep loves and poetic longings (INIS)
Rich and strange (Independent Weekly)
This magical book is perfect holiday reading (Week Junior)
A wonderfully inventive story (Kati Nicholl EXPRESS)
Emily is a spirited girl, more than equal to the delightful cast of eccentrics given voice here by Tessa Gallagher, and the descriptions of how she finds justice, friendship, and a father kept prisoner by King Neptune, are intertwined with mesmerising descriptions of underwater scenery. As rich and strange as anything in THE LITTLE MERMAID, it is perfect for keeping boys and girls of eight and over in suspended animation all the way to the coast. (Amanda Craig THE INDEPENDENT)
