This is probably the best Emily windsnap book I've EVER read Atlanta Emily Waters, probably the coolest name I've ever heard. PLS KEEP WRITING THESE BOOKS!!! I NEVER WANT THIS SERIES TO END!!!!! ððððð
What a great series for students in grades 3 to 8, especially girls.Emily is half mermaid, but attends a school for humans. She has found a boyfriend who is also half-mer and attends the same school, at least she hopes he will become her boyfriend. Her school and the mermaid school, where her best friend attends, is going on a doublefield trip to Fivebays Island. While on a treasure hunt with Aaron, they see a ship in the mist, but then it mysteriously disappears. Emily and her best mermaid friend see the shop again, and this time Emily sees a woman in a porthole trying to talk to her, but again, the ship disappears. With the help of her friends, Emily learns that the ship is connected to Atlantis and is trapped, unable to come back to the human world. The woman is the wife of Lyle, the man trying to hold together the fieldtrip. Can Emily find a way onto the ship and discover a way to release the ship and its passengers from hold the binds them? The story is a bit simple and it is sometimes difficult to believe that the main characters are only 13 and 14 year olds, but it seems to work.This is the 6th book in this series and even though I have not read any of the others, I was able to follow the story. There were references to things that happened in previous books so it is probably a good idea to read them in order if possible.I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have to admit when I saw this on the book store self I was totally shock since I heard the writer had originally planned a 4 book series and then choose to do book five due to the amount of mail about unanswered plot questions. This book answered right off on page 2 my biggest question since Emily return to Brightport. That being if she was still attending a mermaid school or a human school.in book six both the mermaid school and the human school is having a field trip five lakes island. Only when they get there a mysterious quickly starts off with their missing trip hostess while her husband is acting very strange. Certain parts of the island is oddly off limits and only a Semi mer like Emily and her boyfriend can see the mysterious ghost ship that keep passing the island. A ghost ship that can lead one to Atlantis but once anyone goes there nobody has ever returned.
I found the first one of these at our local Goodwill and my 8 year old read it in a day. I was so excited to find all of the rest on . She constantly tells me all about these books and I love how excited she gets.
Ocean again, Liz Kessler delivers another chapter in Emily's adventures - this one probably being the darkest yet. This one has a lot of themes not previously presented in the series, the main theme coming across to me being sacrifice. It's deep and explores a lot of in-depth facets of life, some of which we can find in our own lives (even if we're not mermaids).Not to say anything of spoilers, about halfway through the book, Emily FINALLY stops herself from doing something unwise...only to be coerced into causing more trouble for herself. But, as per quota of an Emily Windsnap tale, Emily's troubles end up leading her to answers she would not have stumbled upon otherwise. The previous installments in the series were fun, sometimes intense, romps in the ocean - but in this one, Emily takes her first real step towards maturity, and by the end of the book, she has changed for the better.It also gives more insight into Aaron. I do wish he would get his own series! There is so much that could be done with his character. But even though the story doesn't focus on him (it's not the Aaron Neptune series, after all) his characterization gets a little more meat to it. Not to say nothing of Shona, she is once again the superficial best friend who...doesn't really contribute much. For a full-blooded mermaid, she doesn't demonstrate much of her own power, or anything else for that matter. Even so, she remains supportive of Emily throughout the book, even if she's just there to let us know she exists.As far as new characters go, they are much more fleshed out than previous newcomers. I won't go so far as to say who exactly they are...you'll just have to read it to find out. Definitely a must-read for fans of the series!
This series has been one of my daughter's favorite. She nearly cried when she saw that she got this book for her birthday.It's a great story and a good read. Its an easy read.
Great bookðððð I like how the family ended up together but Kessler never mentioned the party details...Almost all fantasy lovers will love it
this series is amazing! I love it !It is a perfect series for pre -teens looking for a good middle level fantasy book. I hight recommended it!
