Grade 4β6βEmily 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.β Kira Moody, Hunter Public Library, West Valley City, UT

Are merfolk and humans doomed to be enemies forever? Kesslerβs fourth Emily Windsnap tale pits Brightport against the underwater sea community of Shiprock, home to a mer community threatened by Brightport development. As a semi-mer, Emily is in a unique position to try to bring both worlds together. Along the way, she stumbles upon the secret of the lost sirens and cleverly works with her team to harness their strength, escape catastrophe, solve a mystery, and, yes, achieve world peace. Series fans will dive right into this rollicking sea fantasy-adventure. Grades 4-7. --Anne O'Malley
