The Tail of Emily Windsnap by Liz Kessler
I have been meaning to read this book for ages, especially since the sequel just came out. I’m glad I did.
Emily Windsnap lives on a houseboat with her Mom, but has never been swimming before. Not until she joins the 7th grade swim class. Once she hits the water she swims perfectly, and for good reason–she’s half mermaid! It’s illegal for merfolk and humans to marry each other, but that’s what Emily’s parents did. When found out, her father was imprisoned in Neptune’s underwater prison, and Emily’s mother had her memory erased. Can Emily save her Dad and make her mom remember? Will she get to swim freely as a mermaid, or will she always have to keep it a secret? A fun book for mermaid fans, and a great summer read.
