“Emily’s Big Discovery” is the start of an early chapter book series based on the middle grade “Emily Windsnap” mermaid books. Written by Liz Kessler and illustrated by Joanie Stone, the story follows Emily, a young girl who discovers that she can turn into a mermaid when she gets wet. The middle grade series has been a popular bestseller and this adapted version will probably be popular with younger readers who may not be ready yet for the longer books. Illustrations are fun and colorful. Aimed at kids age 6 – 9, this is a recommended purchase where early chapter books are popular.
