Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider or is grappling with a hidden part of their identity that they are afraid to reveal. It is a perfect choice for a young reader who feels restricted by parental rules and yearns for the independence to explore who they truly are. The story centers on twelve-year-old Emily Windsnap, who discovers she becomes a mermaid whenever she enters the water, leading her on a quest to find her missing father and understand her dual heritage. This enchanting urban fantasy explores deep themes of family secrets, the courage to be different, and the importance of loyalty. While it captures the magical wonder of an underwater world, it also addresses the very real emotions of a child in a single-parent household seeking the truth about their past. It is highly appropriate for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a blend of suspense and emotional resonance that helps children see their unique traits as strengths rather than burdens.
