Even though she lives in a houseboat, Emily Windsnap doesn’t know how to swim. Her mother has always cautioned her to stay out of the water. But it’s hard to make friends at the beach when everyone else is having fun in the waves! So when swimming lessons start at school, Emily is excited to finally have the chance to learn. Standing beside the pool, she feels the water calling her but when she jumps in, she gets a strange kind of scary sensation – like her legs are stuck together. Eager to figure out what may be happening, she jumps into the sea, getting that weird feeling again. But this time when she looks down, she sees that her legs are gone – replaced by a shiny, beautiful tail. Based on the very popular middle grade Emily Windsnap series, this new series introduces a favorite mermaid to younger readers.
