Who would like this series?
Anyone who loves adventure, drama, and a little suspense would love this book! Emily Windsnap is a great character who goes through many middle school situations a lot of girls her age can relate to, but the main character also happens to turn into a mermaid when she goes into the water!
Emily Windsnap thought she was a normal 12 year old girl trying to survive in middle school. She always thought is was a little strange that her mother never let her go in the water for swim lessons, even though she lives right next to the ocean! What she discovers about herself when she finally dives in the water for herself is unbelievable, even to her!
