Why you should read this book: This is an easy reader retelling of the first part of the first novel in the popular Emily Windsnap series, in which a little girl who is not allowed to swim, despite living on a boat and regularly being made to hang out on the beach, discovers that she is a mermaid. The first time she tries to swim, she's frightened by the strange sensations in her body, but intrigued enough to try again. Once she enters the ocean, grows a tail, and realizes she can breathe underwater, Emily meets another young mermaid, learns some mermaid slang, and makes a friend for life.
Why you shouldn't read this book: I'm sorry, but are we supposed to believe that Emily Windsnap went 11 years without taking a bath?
