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.

I loved these books because they are brilliant! In this book she discovers that she is an actual mermaid when she goes in water. She is scared at first but then loves it and has lots of adventures.

Emily windsnap is my favourite character. Because she is half mermaid and half human and is a mermaid in water and a human on land.

I thought it was a great story if you like fantasy. I would recommend reading this selection. The things I liked about it were that it had great vocabulary and sense of humour and adventure. It finishes with an awesome cliff hanger.

I thought it was funny, adventurous, and had quite some mystery.The person i liked best was Emily Windsnap.It intrested me with it's adventures, mystery, and it's emotion when Emily finds her farther, and when she found out that she has been watched and lied to all her all her life.i would recommend this to anyone who likes comedy, adventures, and mystery.
