Emily Windsnap

Emily Windsnap is a collection of children’s fantasy books written by British author Liz Kessler and illustrated by Sarah Gibb. The series began in 2003 with the publication of The Tail of Emily Windsnap and its continuing as of 2019. The series traces its origin from a poem that Kessler wrote about a girl who lived on a boat but had a big secret. Kessler’s editor recommended that she turn the poem into a book. The main character in the series is Emily Windsnap, who’s a half mermaid.
