Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist by Liz Kessler

Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist by Liz Kessler

An easy sell to girls looking for a friendship story with more than a touch of make-believe. -- Kirkus reviews

When Emily Windsnap discovers an old diamond ring during a class hunt for trinkets, how is she supposed to know that the ring is half the key to unlocking an ancient curse by Neptune himself? Now, with the ring stuck firmly on her hand, Emily finds herself under a new curse: in just a few days, she'll cease to be half-human and half-mermaid and must say good-bye to one parent forever. Can she possibly find the other missing ring that will break all the curses? Is there anyone who can help her -- before it's too late?

Liz Kessler is the author of the beloved Emily Windsnap series, as well as the Philippa Fisher series and the novels A Year Without Autumn and North of Nowhere. She says that Poppy the Pirate Dog is based on her own beautiful dog, Poppy. After we moved near the ocean, we bought her a skull-and-crossbones scarf, she says. But the funny thing is that she's a bit scared of water, and that was the inspiration behind this story. Liz Kessler lives in England.

Mike Phillips has been illustrating everything from picture books to the gruesome Horrible Histories series for almost twenty years. He lives in a small fishing village in England with his family and thinks his own dog, who is also named Poppy -- believe it or not! -- may want to be a pirate dog as well.
