A young girl learns she’s half mermaid and plunges into a scheme to reunite with her father in this entrancing, satisfying tale that beckons readers far below the waves.

For as long as she can remember, twelve-year-old Emily Windsnap has lived on a boat. And, oddly enough, for just as long, her mother has seemed anxious to keep Emily away from the water. But when Mom finally agrees to let her take swimming lessons, Emily makes a startling discovery — about her own identity, the mysterious father she’s never met, and the thrilling possibilities and perils shimmering deep below the water’s surface. With a sure sense of suspense and richly imaginative details, first-time author Liz Kessler lures us into a glorious undersea world where mermaids study shipwrecks at school and Neptune rules with an iron trident — an enchanting fantasy about family secrets, loyal friendship, and the convention-defying power of love.

This is an awesome book! I have the best freind book, this book, and the third book on my kindle.

Liz Kessler did a great job on this book. It's about a girl,Emily Windsnap who discovers that she is a semi-mer(half mermaid half human) while taking swimming lessons. Join Emily on this adventure through the merworld and human world. I am currently reading the fourth book and it is fantastic so far!
