The world of Emily Windsnap

Emily Windsnap lives on a houseboat near the ocean but is forbidden to swim in it by her overprotective mother. When her school offers swimming lessons, Emily finally gets to try swimming and she learns that she is half mermaid. The journey takes her on an exciting adventure of friendship and fun.

When his trident pendant is stolen, Aaron embarks on a high-seas adventure, along with his best friends Emily Windsnap and Shona Silkfin, to retrieve it, learning the royal meaning behind this keepsake, which changes everything.

"Emily Windsnap's best friend, Shona Silkfin, is a mermaid who loves to sing . . . but only when she is by herself. So when Shiprock School announces a talent show whose winner will have the honor of meeting King Neptune, everyone is excited to perform--except Shona, who is too nervous to sign up. But when Emily overhears her friend singing, she's amazed by Shona's beautiful voice. With Emily's encouragement, Shona decides to enter the talent show--and when she anxiously takes the stage, Shona knows that her best friend is cheering her on, giving her the courage to sing loud and proud in front of everyone, even the King of the Oceans"--Provided by publisher.

"Even though she lives in a houseboat, Emily Windsnap doesn't know how to swim...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...Emily later dives into the sea. She gets that weird feeling again, but this time she looks down to see that her legs are gone--replaced by a shiny, beautiful tail"--Provided by publisher.
