Emma Makes Waves follows the exciting summer adventures of 10-year-old Emma as she visits her grandparents on the volcanic island of Pantelleria, which she left when she was little. From these roots, Emma has developed the ability to communicate with the Acquaspirits, the extraordinary creatures that also inhabit this amazing island. While helping the locals and the Acquaspirits live in harmony, Emma discovers how precious it is to feel at home and to be surrounded by a community.
