The only problem is that she's terrified to sing in front of others because she fears they'll make fun of her. Shona loves to sing and it's a secret talent that she possesses. Based on the New York Times best-selling series by Liz Kessler, this underwater adventure offers a sweet story about a confidence-bolstering friendship to new readers. With Emily’s encouragement, Shona decides to enter the talent show-and when she anxiously takes the stage, Shona knows that her best friend is cheering her on, giving her the courage to sing loud and proud in front of everyone, even the King of the Oceans. But when Emily overhears her friend singing, she’s amazed by Shona’s beautiful voice. So when Shiprock School announces a talent show whose winner will have the honor of meeting King Neptune, everyone is excited to perform-except Shona, who is too nervous to sign up. We have discussed the content so far together, but you see, it came out through their own mouths, "Why would she write about this if it isn't okay?" Why, indeed.With her best friend’s help, can mermaid Shona get up the nerve to share her singing talents at school? A new reader for younger fans based on the New York Times best-selling Emily Windsnap novels.Įmily Windsnap’s best friend, Shona Silkfin, is a mermaid who loves to sing. And now that I know, my girls will need another series to follow now that I know where Liz Kessler is headed. Instead, every book in a series will get my attention. I learned that I will not judge the acceptability of a series based on my reading of only the first 2 books which were fantastic. Your evaluation of the book should not be a beautiful cover. Can't we just let kids be kids? Parents, be sure you read what your kids are reading. And I'm sure the book authors will use this to their advantage and become the parents to our children for us, teaching them the values they wish to see. Sex makes the adult world go 'round in overdoses. This places an 8-14 year old reader accessing content like this. Trusting parents, us being none-the-wiser, I ask, "Where does it go from here?" Now I discover on her website that Liz Kessler is going to be introducing a new series with a 17 year old female character questioning her sexual orientation and identity which I'm sure the young Windsnap readers will want to explore if they follow the Kessler books with the endorsement of my pocketbook. What is going on? Kessler has opened the door for kids about sexual boundaries at 12 years old and sexual seduction for adults. She watches her giggling Momma dance with him as if under a spell and Emily feels upset. Now in Pirate Prince we have an opened-shirt seducer just out of high school in his appearance, overtly flirting with Emily's mother right in front of Emily's eyes at their cruise ship dinner table. He is allowed on family vacations when Emily is only 12-13 years old.hand holding, snuggling on the sofa alone, Aaron wishing to be alone with her without the parents or relatives with "only one thing on his mind" says Emily at the Falls. Kessler introduces an exclusive boyfriend relationship with the boy she rescued. Really terrific and innovative! But I am so disappointed that the Windsnap series in Book #3 is heading directions inappropriate for my girls 8-12 to read.
