Summary: The Tail of Emily Windsnap is about a 12 year old girl living on a boat with her Mom. She has never been allowed to swim before until her Mom lets her take swimming lessons at her school. That's when she finds out she's a mermaid. She swims around her boat at night time when nobody is watching and swims to a special rock where she meets a mermaid named Shona. Shona is around Emily's age. Shona shows Emily around her school and things you wouldn't even imagine in the ocean. Then one day Shona says she has heard her last name before in a legend about Sirens (mythical mermaids that sink ships) and shipwrecks. Suddenly, Emily is interested in finding out about her Dad because she thinks it might have to do with him. Her Mom's friend, Mr. Beeston, said that her Dad left her mom when Emily was young, but she believes that he was a merman. Which one is true and where could her Dad be now? Read it and you will know the answer!

Review: My review on this book is 8/10 because there are some really good parts that want to make you keep reading, while there are really boring parts that make you want to stop. I find that the first few chapters make it hard to get into the book. However, I loved all the descriptions about the sea life and i loved how part of it took place in the beautiful ocean. i would recommend this book to people that like the ocean, fairy tales, friendship, and of course love.

I really liked this book. After I read it I wanted to keep reading in the series. I liked the part when Emily realizes that Mr.Beeston is making her Mom forget all about her husband, the merman in jail. Raffle Tickets for Abercrombie and Fitch Gift Card. -Ruph12
