I just finished reading a great book called Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep. The main character in the story is Emily Windsnap and she is half human and half mermaid. Her dad broke the of marrying a human which is Emily's mom. That's why they have to move to an island that will protect her family from the king of the sea. The good thing is that when she goes into the water her tail no cares because its normal unlike her old home were every was regular humans. The best thing is that her best friend Shona gets to live with her too. All Emily wants to do is impress her best friend and all the other mermaids that live on Allponits Island and that why she goes and explores the island where she's not supposed to go. But she wanted to impress Shona so she went even know her told her not to and wanders into a cave. Emily made a huge mistake by waking the legendary sea monster named Kraken and he starts destroying the island. Now Emily has to use her mermaid powers and stop Kraken. Also regain her friendship with Shona. This story is also told by Mandy Rushton, who bullied Emily because Mandy's parents are always fighting so she has to take all the anger out on Emily. At school she try's to get everyone to know that she's a mermaid. So this book is about friendships and choices.
