Bookroo's summary

Emily Windsnap stumbles upon a diamond ring, unknowingly triggering an ancient curse by Neptune. With the ring stuck on her finger, she faces losing her dual life as a half-human, half-mermaid and saying goodbye to one parent forever. Desperate to find the missing ring that can break the curse, Emily races against time. Will she find help in unexpected places, or is she destined to lose everything she holds dear? Dive into a world of magic and mystery as Emily battles to save her family and herself.

From the publisher

“An easy sell to girls looking for a friendship story with more than a touch of make-believe.” – Kirkus ReviewsWhen 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?
