The New York Times best-selling series

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.

Pre-teen girls will likely bite at this novel’s tempting bait.

Light, imagination-tickling fare ideal for middle-grade girls, with charming ink-wash illustrations scattered throughout.
—Booklist

Middle school girls . . . will enjoy the tale.
—VOYA

There is no denying the siren-like allure of mermaid stories. . . . Gibb’s spot art has a fluid delicacy that adds much to the watery ambience.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Liz Kessler makes a splash with this tightly written, highly imaginative debut.
—FamilyFun

Charming.
—The Wall Street Journal

Liz Kessler creates an engaging heroine, full of funny asides and derring-do, and a sparkling, fast-paced story with more plot twists than a mermaid’s flipping tale.
—Washington Parent

Kessler has a wonderful new “tail” she has woven with Emily…There is enough mystery that you keep reading for more… It is a book that leaves you wanting more Emily.

One of the more imaginative tales I have ever read.
