An island set in a glittering blue sea. White sand, palm trees. A secret place where humans and merfolk live together, and where it's OK to be a girl who grows a mermaid's tail when she enters the water. Emily Windsnap's new home is perfect.

But Emily ruins everything by waking the kraken, the legendary sea monster, from its hundred-year sleep. As the kraken rises from the deep, putting the future of the islanders at risk, she makes a desperate attempt to save them. But she could never have dreamt that an old enemy was about to turn up...

An enchanting fantasy with a fabulous monster, a cast of engaging, funny characters, plenty of mermaid magic and a page-turning story, Liz Kessler's new book has all the charm and warmth of The Tail of Emily Windsnap, called 'fresh and funny' by The Times and 'a great read' by Mizz - 'we were gripped from the first chapter.'
