The plot made me cry, as always, and smile, since these books are just perfect for the summer. I also adored the dual POVs, although the second one belonged to a character I do not personally like. It made me dream, and wish, and believe, and took me out of reality, giving me my own unique place inside the story. The writing of this book was so freshed, and as developped as a middle grade book writing can get. Thank God she later realized what a bad, bad decision she had taken. I shed a tear on that page, and I did not feel ashamed. When I realized this, something broke inside me. She wanted to be admired, and not hated and mentally tortured like in her old human school. She wanted friends who thought she was brave and beautiful. She woke it up because she wanted to be liked. That's what I remembered, since it had been a while since I read the books. And it would take what belonged to it.Įmily did not wake the Kraken up before its time out of sheer curiosity. There was something hiding beneath the surface, a terrible monster that was sleeping its eternal sleep, until a ship crossed the Bermuda Triangle. Was it the quite paradise it seemed to be, though? Of course not. In this book, I travelled with her to her new home, where merpeople and humans lived together peacefully. Since then, I followed her loyally in all of her adventures. And I needed someone to show me that being myself was the most wonderful feeling. I was a girl who was stigmatized from bullying for a long, long time. I connected to that girl in a spiritual level. The girl who changed from a caterpillar toa butterfly, and in each book, she grew more and more, not just physically but also mentally.
Since the moment I stepped foot in the bookstore and purchased the other free, I knew something had made my heart feel light.Īnd since then, in my darkest times, when I could sometimes barely remember that life is important, I read this books, and it all came back to me.Įmily, a girl from Brightport without a father, who has bullied and didn't feel good for herself, but later found out she was a mermaid, and her father was alive, kept in prison, was the main character. Since the moment I received the fourth book in my birthday (it can be read as a companion novel) and after finishing it and crying tears of pure joy, a feeling I haden't felt in a long time, despite the fact I was in a tender age, I knew something had changed in me.

The Emily Windsnap series will always be these books for me. There are simply some tales that you will always come back to, no matter how old you are, just to seek comfort and be more in control of reality's wild spiralling. There are some stories that wrap your body in starlight and breathe fresh air into you, protecting you from pain and harm. There are some books that fill your heart with brightness and exploding suns.
