Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep [Paperback]

"...funny, adventurous..." tBkmag, Summer 2005

Emily wakes a sleeping monster and chaos ensues! Emily desperately tries to set things right - with a little help from her friends - in this second exciting Emily Windsnap adventure!

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 sea monster that has been asleep for two hundred years.

Emily tries to undo the damage as the kraken's terrifying tentacles rise from the deep!

Mermaid magic, wonderful descriptions of undersea life and a fabulous adventure focused on the power of friendship make this a real page-turner, with all the charm and warmth of Liz Kessler's first book, The Tail of Emily Windsnap.

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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Here I am at last, on a beautiful island in a glittering sea - a place where humans and merfolk live together, and where it's OK for me to grow a mermaid's tail in the water. You'd think everything would be going swimmingly, but, while we were exploring, Shona and I stumbled on a sleeping monster - and I woke him up!

It was a monster mistake! Of course, I was determined to fix it, but could I?

Swishy wishes,

Emily Windsnap
