![]() The discussion towards the end about not being able to chose between your child and your spouse was a lot for a middle grade, but also very well handled.īook Seven: Emily Windsnap and the Falls of Forgotten Island The mystery of the disappearing ship that only Emily and Aaron could see was very interesting and well thought out. I really enjoyed this one, I enjoyed getting to know Lyle and seeing Emily journey to and from the mysterious city of Atlantis. Also the concept of “shell phones” kind of made my day.īook Six: Emily Windsnap and the Ship of Lost Soulsĭon’t you just hate it when your week long school field trip about studying the geology of an island turns into a race against time to save an entire ship and their crew from dying in Atlantis? Emily Windsnap sure does. All in all I just really enjoyed this one. The stakes were even higher than they were in book three, which honestly came as a shock to me because book three was really intense. There were so many twists and turns that kept taking me off guard it honestly blew my mind. Okay, I just felt the need to share that quote because that is actually me heading to class everyday. “I’ve got a couple of rolls and some fruit from the lunch buffet.” Aaron said. Seeing the Windsnap family + friends try and do their best to unite two very different groups at a time where tensions were already way too high was very interesting.īook Five: Emily Windsnap and the Land of the Midnight Sun I did like all of the background themes and character development of this one a lot though, which is what kept this one at a 4 star rating. I just didn’t find it as interesting as the others, though I am not apart of the target audience so that may have played a big role. I didn’t like the majority of this one as much for some reason, I guess it was something to do with the mystery aspect. One day) and a new theme that we will follow through the rest of the books.īook Four: Emily Windsnap and the Siren’s Secret The adventure and mystery in this one was some of the best out of the series, it also introduced some great new characters (hello Aaron, one day I will not think of my grandfather whenever I read your name. Emily has just been getting used to her life when Neptune threatens to change it yet again and cut her off from one half of her life forever. I was just saying how book two amped things up, but this one brought it to an entirely different level. Is this my favorite in the series? Its probably my favorite in the series. This also had all of those typical “friendship is important” themes common in middle grade that nevertheless make my heart happy.īook Three: Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist I really enjoyed seeing how Emily was adapting to all of these very sudden and dramatic changes in her life as well as how she handled these new crises. However, it was a very interesting change. We went from cute, middle school girl accidentally discovers she is a mermaid in gym class and then goes on an adventure to cute, middle school girl almost gets everyone killed by a ancient, angry monster. This book took a completely different turn. All in all, I would recommend this to kids and adults alike because you’re never too old for a good middle grade.īook Two: Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep There was also lots of great mystery and adventure that I know that I really fell in love with as a kid. Nostalgic memories aside, this book was a great introduction to the series! The world of mermaids was introduced in an interesting way, and we got to see Emily fumble through this new society that she had never known about as a means of discovering what is what. I thought about doing a full series review, but then decided that for these books it would probably just be easier to write a paragraph or so on each book, especially since these are not exactly books that you have to diligently read in order (though I did).Īs I was reading this book, I felt instantly transported back to childhood and reading this book in the car on the way back from the beach.
