The enchanting first tale in the New York Times best-selling series
is now available in a beautiful twentieth-anniversary edition poised to
captivate a new generation.
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
anxiously kept 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. In a lovely twentieth-anniversary edition of the spellbinding
fantasy about family secrets, loyal friendship, and the
convention-defying power of love, New York Times best-selling author
Liz Kessler lures us into a glorious undersea world where mermaids study
shipwrecks at school and Neptune rules with an iron trident. This deluxe
unjacketed hardcover features a ribbon bookmark, decorative stained
edges, an author's note, facts about mermaids, and a personality quiz to
reveal what kind of sea creature the reader might be.
