Emily Windsnap: Six Swishy Tails of Land and Sea

I thought the Emily Windsnap series would fit the bill to keep my girls excited about reading, especially considering it’s excellent star rating. As a classical homeschooling family we aim for what’s called “the true, good & beautiful” in literature. This series does not meet those standards. Just a few chapters into the first book and Emily had already repeatedly lied to her mother and friend (and gotten away with it); she sneaks out of the house to go swimming alone. The use of words like: idiot, shut up, and using God’s name in vein is where my daughter decided, on her own, the book wasn’t good for her. As she described it the book made her “feel bad”. 2 Stars for a good premise, just wish it wasn’t delivered with sub-par messaging.

am sure my niece will get hours of pleasure reading these

Entertaining

My daughter devoured the set in a week! Lovely stories

The books are a best seller and popular for 10 year old girls. The books were presented in a nice box
