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.

It is about a girl and when she is goes for swim lessons she hops into the water and turns into a mermaid. Read the book to look at what she finds. P.s I forgot to tell you about her dad, she dose know what happened to him then she meets another mermaid they turn into best friends. They look up her dad in one of the mermaid books and it says he is in prison for seeing a land Person. Will she ever find her dad? Read the book to find out about all of the misters of the water.....
