About the book: 2005 / Emily Windsnap lived her entire life on a small yacht. But for some reason her mother, Mary Penelope, does everything possible to keep the girl away from the water. When Emily eventually gets into the pool, she makes a stunning discovery... Liz Kessler lives on a boat in Cheshire, England. She managed to work as a teacher and journalist, but always - from the age of nine - she dreamed of becoming a writer. Why from nine? Because it was at this age that her poem was first published in the local newspaper. Liz not only writes books; She also works as a consultant for a publishing house and gives advice to other children's writers. The story about Emily Windsnap is her first book, which “grew” from a small poem about a mermaid.
