Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep

“An easy sell to girls looking for a friendship story with more than a touch of make-believe.” – Kirkus ReviewsWhen Emily Windsnap discovers an old diamond ring during a class hunt for trinkets, how is she supposed to know that the ring is half the key to unlocking an ancient curse by Neptune himself? Now, with the ring stuck firmly on her hand, Emily finds herself under a new curse: in just a few days, she’ll cease to be half-human and half-mermaid and must say good-bye to one parent forever. Can she possibly find the other missing ring that will break all the curses? Is there anyone who can help her – before it’s too late?

Emily Windsnap and the Siren's Secret

“A successful mix of fantasy, mystery, adventure, and a touch of romance.” – Kirkus Reviews  The New York Times best-selling series continues with half-mermaids Emily and Aaron embarking on an icy and perilous journey to the Land of the Midnight Sun.

The ship appears and disappears only at certain times of day–growing fainter each time. Searching for answers only leads to more questions until Emily and her friends confront the island’s keeper, uncovering the incredible story of a ship caught between land and sea, day and night . . . life and death. Only Emily, with her ability to transform from mermaid to human, can enter Atlantis to try to bring the ship’s passengers back before the portal is closed forever. Emily knows that if she fails, not only will the passengers never see their loved ones again, but Emily won’t be able to return either. Will she be able to resist the allure of Atlantis and return home before it’s too late?
