Liz Kessler<\/strong> is here to have fun, and her good humour is immediately infectious. A natural entertainer, and the successful author of sixteen books from Meet the Real Poppy<\/em> to Read Me Like a Book<\/em>, she promises to entertain her audience, but she fervently hopes \u201cthat you will also entertain me.\u201d So follows a madcap mix of excerpts from Kessler\u2019s Emily Windsnap<\/em> series, a bit of show-and-tell, a hilarious game show, general absurdity, belly laughs, and flying sweets.<\/p>\n

Her latest publication, Emily Windsnap and the Ship of Lost Souls<\/em>,<\/strong> is the sixth in the popular series chronicling the adventures of young Emily, who discovers at her first swimming lesson in Book One that she turns into a mermaid once immersed in water. Kessler talks of Emily as of an old friend: \u201cEmily and I have done lots together. She chose me to tell her story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celebrations ensue. The audience is divided into two teams, children and adults \u2013 the Elowens and the Mermaids respectively \u2013 and presented with a number of challenges. Hands shoot up into the air, children\u2019s hands, that is. The adults need a little more encouragement to get up onto the stage, don a blonde curly wig and brush their hair enticingly for challenge number one: who can do the best impression of a Siren? Not the weeh-waah noise that emanates from a police car pursuing a suspect, mind you, but the song of the beautiful women of Greek mythology who lure sailors to the rocks.<\/p>\n

Challenge two requires a blindfold for Pin-the-tail-on-the-Mermaid. \u201cYou do know it\u2019s meant to go over your eyes?\u201d Kessler chides the volunteer for the Mermaid team. So far, it\u2019s two points for the Elowens, and none for the Mermaids. But that could all be about to change, not least because now it\u2019s the quick fire round for super-fans of the series: the first to buzz in and give the correct answer gets a point. For sure, the Mermaids are going to win as our volunteer \u2013 well, actually the adult volunteered for the challenge by Kessler herself \u2013 is Kessler\u2019s own publisher. It\u2019s going to be a guaranteed win for the adults, right? Or maybe not. Kessler\u2019s mock horror at her publisher\u2019s failure to answer the first question, and then the second, and then the third has the audience in stitches. And to finish, an impersonation of Neptune, crown and trident fashioned from tin foil to lend authenticity to the performance.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a close run thing, but the Elowens manage to grab victory by a whisker. There\u2019s just time for a quick Q and A session. \u201cWhat made you become an author?\u201d \u201c I think you sort of are, you don\u2019t become it. If I\u2019m not writing, the world doesn\u2019t make any sense to me.\u201d And then, all too soon, our forty-five minutes are up. Kessler has fulfilled her promise to entertain us to a tee, as the long queue of eager Windsnappers keen to get their books signed justly confirms.<\/p>\n
