Synopsis

Emily Windsnap is thrilled to arrive at her new home, a secret island near the Bermuda Triangle where humans and merfolk live together, and where being a girl who grows a tail as soon as she enters the water isn't a problem. Being Emily, she can't resist exploring forbidden places - and as a result she inadvertently wakes the kraken, the legendary deep sea monster who has been asleep for two hundred years. What follows makes a terrifically exciting adventure - not just for Emily, but for her old adversary Mandy Rushton, whose parents have taken her on a cruise and whose father thinks he can make his fortune if he catches a mermaid. Their voices alternate as the kraken's terrifying tentacles rise from the deep, threatening the future of the islanders, and kraken worshippers try to sink the cruise ship. Mermaid magic, a fabulous monster, and wonderful descriptions of undersea life make this a rich fantasy that is a real page turner and has all the charm and warmth of Liz Kessler's first book, 'The Tail of Emily Windsnap'.

From the Inside Flap

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.
