Follow the siren call to Emily's magical new adventure! Can the spunky half-mer girl pass Neptune's test—and help humans and merpeople get along? (Ages 8-12)
Emily Windsnap is finally enjoying a swimmingly peaceful life on Allpoints Island, hanging out with her mermaid BFF, Shona, and her new friend Aaron (half-merperson like herself ). But their idyll is cut short when Emily learns that the Windsnaps and friends must return to their old home in Brightport, where construction projects are threatening a secret mermaid community under the sea. Neptune's mandate? No less than an interspecies intervention to bring merpeople and humans together, a task the imperious god feels the mixed Windsnap family is well suited for. There are just a few snags for Emily, however, like dealing with old nemeses Mandy and Mr. Beeston, figuring out her feelings toward Aaron, and untangling a high-suspense mystery related to a group of legendary lost sirens. Everyone's favorite half-mermaid is back with a splash in a sparkling new adventure her fans will be eager to get their fins on.

Gr 4-6-Emily Windsnap, half-human/half-mermaid, is faced with her biggest challenge yet when she learns that the mermaid village of Shiprock is about to be destroyed by bulldozers. While attempting to unite humans and merpeople to prevent the disaster, Emily discovers that whenever she and Aaron hold hands, weird things start happening, like people suddenly forget that they're not supposed to know that mermaids exist. She and her best friend, Shona, find some lost sirens but then get stuck underneath a waterfall with them with no way out. The characters are multidimensional, the book is fast paced, and the mishaps and adventures are entertaining."Kira Moody, Hunter Public Library, West Valley City, UT"Copyright 2010 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

In her fourth bland adventure, half-mermaid Emily must save Brightport--a place where mer-people and humans peacefully coexist--from developers. As usual, there are some clever details, but the let's-save-our-idyllic-home-from-greedy-people story line is overly familiar and the pace drags.(Copyright 2010 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
