Emily Windsnap and the Land of the Midnight Sun is the fifth book in a series by Liz Kessler. The main character is Emily Windsnap, of course, and she’s half human half mermaid. She used to live on an all-mermaid island, but she moves back to Brightport where she used to live before she discovered she was a mermaid. The reason why is in the 4th book, which you’ll have to read.

Emily is very adventurous. That’s why she accepts to go on a dangerous mission assigned by Neptune, king of mermaids. But she also is very loyal to her friends. Like when Neptune made made her promise not to tell anyone about her mission, and gives her a shell phone to communicate with her, Emily gives the phone to her best friend, Shona as a token of friendship. This book takes place mostly in the place Emily is going for her mission, but other places, too.

Neptune has been having very strange dreams lately, so he asks, or orders Emily and her friend Aaron to find out why he’s having these dreams. She’s having a lot of trouble with her mission because she doesn’t understand what Neptune asks of her and Aaron.

But during that, she’s having friendship problems with Aaron, and on top of that, missing Shona. Most of the book revolves around about that. But some of the book is also about getting past that, and doing her mission. Like once, she was trying to just do her mission instead of getting mad, so she said, “I swallowed down a furious response and tried to gather as much dignity as possible.”

I would give this book 4 stars because I loved this book and I love adventure and friendship books. I love this whole series. Also, I like how you find out more about the characters in this book than the fourth, third, second, and first. But it wasn’t the best book in the world.

 I would recommend this book to people who like adventure and friendship, and who have the other books.
