More than anything she just wants to find the father who stole her mother’s heart 12 years ago.Įmily’s mother has kept her out of the water her whole life, but when her PE class takes up swimming, she’s finally going to get the chance. She’s teased at school for her strange behavior around water, but she stands up to the snarky girls and in the end, also stands her ground with King Neptune. This is an entertaining, original fairytale for all those who haven’t been satisfied since Ariel. It was originally a trilogy, but at some point since deciding to end the series there, the author changed her mind and continued writing about Emily’s adventures, so now there are 9 books and I am almost caught up! The whole series is a lot of fun, full of magic, friendship, and mythical creatures - plus the covers are all really pretty! ( ) I found this at the Scholastic Book Fair and absolutely fell in love with it! It has everything a middle-grade mermaid story could want and more, and I still enjoy re-reading it as an adult. This discovery leads her to a fantastical underwater world where she meets her mermaid best friend, Shona Silkfin, goes to mermaid school, explores sunken shipwrecks, and even manages to break her long-lost merman father out of an underwater prison! It’s MerMay! And I’d like to kick it off by recommending one of my favourite mermaid books of all time!Įmily Windsnap is a twelve-year-old girl who discovers she is part-mermaid when her legs transform into a tail the first time she submerges herself in water.
