Product Description
Review
'Light-hearted and exciting, with a straight-forward plot and happy conclusion... the book's strength lies in the rich, descriptive passages, unusual in a story for this age group, which conjure a vast watery world governed by violent forces and inhabited by shadowy creatures.' (Anne Faundez BOOKS FOR KEEPS )
'There is a lot of exciting, if mostly underwater, action and tremendous descriptions of storms at sea conjured up by an angry Neptune.' (Wendy Axford THE SCHOOL LIBRARIAN ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A Fantasy Must-Read For All Preteens!
22 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist by Liz Kessler is a fantasy must-read for all preteens! It starts when the main character, Emily Windsnap, finds a beautiful diamond ring buried in the sand, so she puts it on... but then she can't take it off! It becomes a burden (it's cursed and magical), and King Neptune, the king of the sea, is not happy (more like infuriated) with Emily... Read the book to find out why he's so angry with her. Since he is so angry, he sets a curse on her which will result in her never seeing one of her parents again... can she stop the curse?
I just LOVED this book. LOVED it. It was very mysterious and interesting. When Emily was trying to get the other ring, and she was trying to swim to Shona, I was so interested that the real world faded away and I was pulled into the story, not thinking about one other thing besides the book (Seriously!)! When Ms. Kessler was describing the ocean and surroundings, she did a great job, too.
When a book is by Liz Kessler, you know it's going to be great! She always has an interesting fantasy story to tell, whether it's about a mermaid or a fairy or time-traveling. This one happens to be about a mermaid, and it is the third book in the series. Liz Kessler is a great author from England, and she is a very popular author of children's fantasy stories. Never stop writing! :)

Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist
4 July 2011
Format:Paperback
So first I would like to say that this book is well-written with several tense moments and so forth. But, like all stories, there are positives and negatives.
Positives- This book is wonderful FOR AGES 8-12. I would not recommend it to anyone older then that, because it does not have very much depth. It is a good ending to the Emily series, which I have read since I was 8.
Negatives- I was extremely surprised and alarmed that there is a swear word in this book! Up until now, Emily has once or twice said "Oh, God!" or expressions like that (which I was able to overlook.) However, I cannot overlook a swear word. THIS IS A KID'S BOOK FOR PETE'S SAKE!!! I just don't understand the need for that. (Just FYI, it is on page 66, just in case you would like to know that.
Moving on I would like to say, despite all of the comments above, Emily has been my friend for years now and I think this book is a marvelous conclusion to the series. Thanks for everything, Em. :-)
