Her mother has always cautioned her to stay out of the water. Even though she lives in a houseboat, Emily Windsnap doesn’t know how to swim. It was the perfect blend of light fun, thrilling adventure, and astounding discoveries.Introducing an exciting new line of readers that brings half-mermaid Emily Windsnap-star of the New York Times best-selling series-to a younger audience. Overall, this book kept me completely captivated. I truly love growing up alongside Emily as she discovers her path in life while still managing to have fun. I was able to jump right in and pick up where we left off, which is always a bonus. Kessler also excels at bringing readers up to speed if they don't remember Emily's former adventures too well without feeling redundant or boring. Neptune's storyline is also creative in a way I haven't seen done before. A narwhal! You get an extra seaweed cookie if you know what a narwhal is. For example, there is a narwhal in the novel. Kessler continues to introduce readers to forgotten lore as well. I could close my eyes and picture this frozen realm in detail. It was so creative, and also visually stunning.

I loved the world of The Land of the Midnight Sun. When it's reawakened and Neptune starts remembering repressed memories, it's up to Emily and Aaron to go on a secret undercover mission in order to save the ocean-and the world-before it's too late. Emily and Aaron have gone from friends to something more, and Neptune's power still lurks in their veins. After Emily connected with Aaron using Neptune's powers during CASTLE IN THE MIST, things have been different. The title! What is The Land of the Midnight Sun? Have you ever heard of anything like it? It's so mysterious and feels utterly magical, doesn't it? Emily is about to learn the truth behind this cold, forgotten land, and the hidden answers exceed her wildest dreams. I truly hope Kessler has more Emily books in the pipeline for us that remain this fresh and fun, though it will be hard to top the adventure of THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN!įor one thing, the title. I always have so much fun re-connecting with Emily and her world. There's a ton of unique mer-lore never seen before, and it's all done in such a fun way. But the third, fourth, and fifth books in the series have blown me away. I wasn't completely convinced that I loved Emily in the first book or two. Liz Kessler's fantastic Emily Windsnap series, however, does just the opposite. They begin to feel cliché, featuring the same old topics in a shiny new package. A lot of children's series, to me, get old after a while. It's rare to find a series that gets better and better with each new book.
