What’s more, the mystery surrounding how it’s possible that Emily lives on a houseboat but doesn’t find out that she is a mermaid until she is in seventh grade is quite intriguing. On the contrary, she finds herself balancing two worlds while she searches for answers. Yes, the magical mermaid world plays a role in this book, but Emily does not simply abandon all she knows to disappear into it. There was no receiving of magical powers on a certain birthday or being surprised and whisked away to a special school or magical world. While the story seemed less than original – a young girl finds out she is special/ magical (a mermaid) – the plot was very creative. Well, I’m 34 and found myself surprised as the story unfolded! My impressions going into the book were: it sounds cute but it will probably be predictable.

When Emily’s boyfriend Aaron is captured by pirates, Emily knows what she must do – board a rival pirate’s ship to rescue him.Now that it is officially summer, I thought it was time to dive into a mermaid book, and I decided to finally read The Tail of Emily Windsnap by Liz Kessler.

Will she cast aside her mermaid life to join her new friends, or will she find a way to follow her own path? Diving into action, Emily joins the pirate king’s younger son’s crew in order to save Aaron.īut while experiencing the pirate life and helping unravel clues to the treasure, Emily is surprised to find herself bonding with the crew, especially Sam, the pirate king’s son. The pirates capture her boyfriend, Aaron, to help guide them to the legendary Trident’s Treasure. In Emily’s eighth book, she is plunged into another adventure when the cruise ship she is on is overtaken by a pirate king. I was immediately inspired and spent a year having fantastic research trips on tall ships. I wanted to write about a pirate prince ever since my publicist in America mentioned the idea. But can she save the day without revealing her true identity and losing everything? About Emily Windsnap and the Pirate Prince
