THE TAIL OF EMILY WINDSNAP
Book ID/图书代码： 10000004B04759
English Summary/英文概要： Emily Windsnap has lived on a boat her whole life. But her mother, Mary Penelope, has seemed oddly anxious to keep her away from the water. When she is finally allowed to have swimming lessons, Emily makes a startling discovery.
As she learns more about herself, Emily explores the glorious world under the sea, where Neptune rules and mermaids go to school. And she finds out the truth about the father she has never met.
How Emily learns her family secrets, and how she braves Neptune’s wrath to reunite her father and mother, makes a thrilling adventure. With its enchanting underwater scenes and its range of unusual characters such as the mermaid Shona Silkfin, Mr Beeston the lighthouse keeper and Millie, the psychic from the pier, this is a magical fantasy that is exciting, touching, funny and highly original.
Liz Kessler lives on a narrowboat in rural Cheshire. She has worked as a teacher and a journalist and she wanted to be a writer from the age of nine, when her first poem was printed in the local newspaper.

Awards/获奖情况：A wonderfully inventive story’---Kati Nicholl, EXPRESS ’Emily is a spirited girl, more than equal to the delightful cast of eccentrics given voice here by Tessa Gallagher, and the descriptions of how she finds justice, friendship, and a father kept prisoner by King Neptune, are intertwined with mesmerising descriptions of underwater scenery. As rich and strange as anything in THE LITTLE MERMAID, it is perfect for keeping boys and girls of eight and over in suspended animation all the way to the coast.’---Amanda Craig, THE INDEPENDENT
