![]() Review: The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau.I read this one because I had to do a booktalk on it (and I do love mermaids) and I don't regret it, but I don't really care what happens to the Windsnap family.īut I'd recommend it to 7-10 year-old girls and their parents, it's a fun little story and I'd say it's certainly better than reading the latest Hannah Montana paperback or whatever type of fairies Daisy Meadows is up to now. It's not a bad story, but there's not a whole lot of character development and I rather found the way the mer-people had been controlling her mother for 12 years pretty creepy. I wouldn't not recommend it to adult readers, but it's definitely a younger kids' book with not a lot to it. All ends well when the family is reunited and swims away to live a new life on a secret merfolk island." Twelve year old Emily Windsnap is an adventurous, but shy girl who lives with her single mother on a house boat near the ocean. Beeston her mother's dislike of water and her parents' love affair.

Eventually, she finds her dad and comes to understand the truth about her oddly controlling neighbor, Mr. Danger, humor, confrontation, and even a trial before Neptune all play a part in her search. When Emily learns the intriguing history of the Shiprock community and of illegal marriages between humans and merpeople, she begins to look for her merman father. Emily Windsnap is finally enjoying a swimmingly peaceful life on Allpoints Island, hanging out with her mermaid BFF, Shona, and her new friend Aaron (half-merperson like herself ). Below the waves, she meets Shona, also 12, who takes her to mermaid school and leads her on several adventures. Soon, she is secretly gliding through the water as a mermaid. She tries to hide her strange affliction, but something draws her to the sparkling surf. When she finally takes a swimming class at school, her legs turn into a fishtail. Emily Windsnap, who narrates, is half-mermaid, as she discovers, inconveniently, in her seventh-grade swim class. ![]() Here's how School Library Journal sums the book up: "Seventh-grader Emily Windsnap has never learned to swim, in spite of the fact that she and her mother live on a houseboat. But when Mom finally agrees to let her take swimming lessons, Emily makes a startling discovery about her own identity, the mysterious father she’s never. And, oddly enough, for just as long, her mother has seemed anxious to keep Emily away from the water. :-) It's also about interspecies breeding and wrongful imprisonment, how's that for a children's story?! For as long as she can remember, twelve-year-old Emily Windsnap has lived on a boat. What else is the book about? Are you interested in reading the sequel? It's also a children's book. However, I've only read the back of the book. Jennie asked: From what I know, The Tail of Emily Windsnap is about being a mermaid.
