Synopsis

The magic ring that Emily Windsnap - half mermaid, half ordinary girl - finds buried in the sand belongs to Neptune, and he wants it back. But the ring, once on, won't come off, and Neptune puts a terrible curse on Emily. A wildly exciting underwater adventure, written with warmth and charm, and with fascinating new characters as well as old friends like mystic Millie, creepy Mr Beeston, and Emily's mermaid friend Shona Silkfin.

Media Reviews
'Light-hearted and exciting, with a straight-forward plot and happy conclusion... the book's strength lies in the rich, descriptive passages, unusual in a story for this age group, which conjure a vast watery world governed by violent forces and inhabited by shadowy creatures.' -- Anne Faundez BOOKS FOR KEEPS 'There is a lot of exciting, if mostly underwater, action and tremendous descriptions of storms at sea conjured up by an angry Neptune.' -- Wendy Axford THE SCHOOL LIBRARIAN
