Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist by Liz Kessler
4.0
Storyline
Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist is the third book in the Emily Windsnap series. One morning, Emily and her class find out in school that Neptune, the mer-king, is coming to the school, and they must search for as many jewels and feathers that they can to decorate themselves for Neptune's arrival. Emily and Shona, her best friend in the world, set off to find some jewels. But while Emily is there, she found a ring, a ring with a big diamond on top. But what she didn't realise is that such a beautiful ring can cause a lot of trouble...
Comment
This is the third book in the Emily Windsnap series, and I loved it! It is gripping, heart-racing and exciting. What is going to happen next? Where are they going to go? Because these questions keep racing through your mind, you find yourself reading page after page and you are whizzing through it! This is a definite good-read.
Rating
I have rated this book four stars, because of how gripping and exciting it is. It has beautiful descriptions, so that you can then picture yourself in the scenery, watching everything happening. I can see that the author, Liz Kessler, put all of her heart and work into the book, which I appreciate very much!
Age Group
I think that this book would be good for pre-teens, or maybe 10+. I think that the book is very good, but it has some complicated words and descriptions inside, so I think that it is better for the higher age-group.
My Favourite Character
I have been trying to think which one out of the two I like best: Emily Windsnap or Shona Silkfin? They are both kind, fun, adventurous... but I do think that I prefer Shona. She is fun, but she is also very careful and aware of what she's doing, where as Emily does what she wants and finds herself in trouble! I think I love both of them evenly, though.
Suggestion to the Author
All I can say to the author is to keep up the terrific work! I think that because I love this series so much, I might just consider buying some of her other books! Keep up the good work.
