Two weeks running with posting about reading on Wednesday, whohoo! ... It won't happen again for a while.
The Tail of Emily Windsnap, by Liz Kessler
I wanted to read this after
troisoiseaux recalled loving it as a kid and enjoyed it on a reread. I was intrigued by her description of Emily’s starcrossed parents’ romance and Emily’s needing to rescue her father from mer-prison (which is only half the story; the other half is Emily discovering she turns into a mermaid in water, meeting a mergirl who can be her best friend, and learning about mer-school, etc., while meanwhile managing her mother and babysitter and the mean girl at human school).
( more analysis than a slim volume should have to bear )
The tl;dr of this is that I thought it was a fun, imaginative adventure story, and I can understand why
troisoiseaux remembers it fondly.
