Emily Windsnap: The Tail Story — Liz Kessler

In Emily Windsnap: The Tail Story (Ukrainian Хвісторія Емілі Віндснеп), twelve-year-old Emily lives on a boat with her mother, who always discouraged her from learning to swim. But when Emily starts attending her school’s swimming lessons, she discovers something extraordinary: she is half mermaid. As she seeks to understand her identity, she questions who her father is, why her mother’s memories are blurry, and what lies hidden beneath the waves. This 288-page Ukrainian edition (hardcover) is the first book in the Emily Windsnap series, blending adventure, mystery, and marine fantasy for young and middle readers.
