(The narrator, Finty Williams, does an excellent job of transfusing the story with dramatic energy.) I can also tell you that Erin knows big chunks of it by heart and sometimes she and her sister have great fun quoting lines of dialogue back and forth. And probably none of this would have happened if I had taken the time to read the story description on the back of the CD case. I can, however, tell you that for the last few years the CD version has spent far more time here in our home than it has on the shelf of the library that supposedly owns it, and that on many occasions during that time I have gone into the room where it was playing to accomplish some task or other and found myself swept up in the story instead. I must confess, I’ve yet to read this book. You will just have to read the book to find out! I love this story so much I almost have the book memorized word for word. In the end Emily does find her dad, but I’m not going to tell you how. Emily finds out that her dad is a mer-man in a prison really far away and Emily has to get there.
She meets another mermaid and they become friends. Now she feels like she could swim forever and ever in the endless sea. She has never been in water before year seven in her school and when she first gets in the water her legs stick together like a tail. She gets scared and doesn’t want to swim again. Eventually she sneaks out at night and discovers that she is a semi-mer. In this story Emily lives in a boat called the King of the Sea with her mom.
