This review is from: Emily Windsnap: Three Swishy Mermaid Tales: Books 1-3 (Paperback)

I purchased this book with the intention of giving it to my 10 year old neice for her birthday. Since I had received it a few weeks before her birthday party I decided to read it myself to see whether she'd like it. Little did I know I would get sucked into the world of Emily Windsnap and her adventures! It's the perfect book for her age group (and those of us who are kids at heart!) and I found myself being pulled back into the book time and time again, just looking waiting to find out what would happen next to Emily and her friends. It's perfect for someone who dreams of exciting adventures in far away places.

I purchased these books for my 7-year old, 2nd grade daughter (who reads near 4th grade level) for christmas. She had already read the second book from her school library. When she brought it home I was a little skeptical because I thought it would be a little hard for her, but it was such a fun story for her that it motivated her to read and push the envelope of her ability. She loves these books so much that she read two of them before the holiday was over. No more setting the timer to make sure she gets the recommended 15 minutes a day of reading. The perfect story for girls. Some parts are a little scary for her age, but she loved it. I expect she'll want to read the series again in a few years.
