Emily Windsnap's new home is perfect: a secret island set in a glittering blue sea, 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. Everything changes when Emily accidentally wakes the kraken, the legendary sea monster, from its hundred-year sleep. As it rises from the deep, threatening the ships that pass through the Bermuda Trinagle and putting the future of the islanders at risk, Emily is desperate to save them. But then an old enemy turns up . . . This is a rollercoaster adventure story, with funny, engaging characters and plenty of mermaid magic. Liz Kessler's new book is as enchanting as her first, The Tail of Emily Windsnap. Liz Kessler lives on a narrowboat in rural Cheshire. She has worked as a teacher and journalist, has an MA in Creative Writing, and is an editorial consultant, offering advice to other children's writers.
