Emily Windsnap and the Land of the Midnight Sun by Liz Kessler

This book is about Emily and Aaron, who go to the Land of the Midnight Sun to find who took Neptune's dreams and who is threatening Neptune's power. I like that the book doesn't tell you everything at the moment so it isn't that obvious what is coming next. You would like this book if you like mysteries. If you are between ages 9-12 you would like this book.

by Madeline M, Grade 6

Emily Windsnap and the Ship of the Lost Souls by Liz Kessler

This book is about a field trip and Emily needs to go to Atlantis to find the wife of the owner of the field trip island and the other passengers on a ship.

The theme of this book is teamwork, forgiveness, and not giving up. The main character, Bonnie, and her Amelia Earheart Cadet, along with the junior A. E. Cadet group get marooned on an island.

I think the theme is to keep control of ourselves. This book says about some girls who can speak with fire, wind, and water. And they could control them too.

Rin also has people-speaking, which lets whomever has that power to see through people's faces and see what they really think. And to command people and get what they want.

I recommend this book to everyone.
