Publisher Comments:

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 her 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.

Review:

"In her debut novel, 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 tail. Hand this one to your kids when they complain of nothing to do." Children's Literature

Review:

"Kessler seems unsure about the tone she wishes to set, but middle school girls nonetheless will enjoy the tale." VOYA

Review:

"This fantasy has some delightful moments, but not enough to keep it afloat. Characters are not fully developed, the plot wavers between complicated and oversimplified, and the transition from merworld to human is not smooth." School Library Journal
