When Emily’s eighth-grade class arrives at Fivebays Island
for an excursion, they discover that their course leader, Lowenna, is missing.
Soon, a camping trip meant to encourage human/merpeople relations turns into a
mystery that no one’s willing to talk about. With the help of her boyfriend,
Aaron, the two set about trying to figure out what happened to her. When the
two find her, they discover that she got trapped on a ghostly ship on her way
to Atlantis. With the help of Lyle, the mysterious person who runs the island,
will they be able to save Lowenna? To make matters worse, Emily is not sure
what to think of her feelings for Aaron. Will she figure out if she loves him?
How did Lowenna get stuck on the ship and why was she heading to Atlantis?
The plot is well developed and engaging. The characters are
intriguing and engaging. The romance issues feel a little contrived and forced,
but a follower of the series probably won’t care. Readers who enjoy mermaids
and who have read the other books in the series will delight in this newest
Emily Windsnap adventure. EL. OPTIONAL. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
