Description
Emily Windsnap and the Siren's Secret follows Emily as she revels in her family's return to Brightport. However, their efforts to adhere to Neptune's orders by uniting humans and merfolk seem destined for failure.
Expelled from mermaid school and ridiculed by her old adversary, Mandy Rushton, Emily embarks on a quest to find the lost sirens who were exiled by Neptune to a clandestine underwater cavern.
Only by uncovering the true story of the sirens can Emily piece her own life back together. This magical adventure showcases the power of friendship and is told with Liz Kessler's trademark warmth and lightness of touch.
