“I took hold of that scourge -filled ship and crushed it between my limbs, hurtling it into the second sun, the red one that gave me strength. But I was too late." Terraformer

Book Commercial
The setting of this book takes place in a port town and in the deep ocean. In a boat in the harbor, there lives a young girl Emily Windsnap. She lives with her mother and her father is nowhere to be found.
The plot of this story is about Emily. She gets curious about her past and when she goes to the pool for school, something odd happens. She asks her mother who dismissed her. Emily decided to figure out what happened. She went swimming in the ocean and found a mermaid who saw that Emily had a tail. Emily went to school with her and loved it. Emily decided to start looking for her father. She eventually found her father and reunited her family.
This book was very good. Highly recommend the first book in this series to anyone. If you like mermaids and love some adventure this book is for you.

I’m Linda Louise, one of the bloggers on this website and Colleen’s little sister. I’m just a girl in her mid-thirties who feels thirteen when I play outside with my boys, fifteen when I sing my heart out listening to tunes while driving by myself, and sixty five when I go out past ten at night. I have a thing for junior mints, Mt. Dew, shrimp and kale (though not all at once) and I have a crush on Superman. I still get girlish butterflies when I read Twilight, cry when I read These is My Words, and smile from ear to ear when I read Anne of Green Gables. I have nightmares about aliens on a regular basis and I have a bad habit of midnight snacking. I love everything sports, except golf (although can that honestly be considered a sport??), and I hate anything that slithers, hisses, or stings. I have a problem with giggling at inappropriate moments and I sometimes wish life was a musical. I love science, hate math, love Dr. Seuss, and hate olives. My family is my world and my joys come from their happiness. I’ve learned I don’t know much about anything and I live for a good adventure, naps, cuddles, stories, exceptional food and The Shire.
