North of Nowhere is about time travel and a teenager called Mia.

It was a bit scary at times, but overall I really liked this book. Jenni and Autumn were the closest of friends, before time tore them apart. I very much enjoyed it and I wish there was a sequel.Ī year without Autumn is about a girl called Jenni, who finds that she’s lost a year of her life and doesn’t know how it happened. Has anyone seen Jessica Jenkins? is about having super-powers, being able to turn invisible, stop time, fly, read minds and more, all because of Jessica’s mum’s midwife! This book has some tricky scientific words, and some strange concepts, but it was a great read. They’re all about differences and how to overcome them, and powerful friendships between a girl and a mythical being. This series (especially book 3) involved a lot of thinking to understand, but overall, I loved these books. They both risk their lives for each other, and their relationship leads to a problem only they can solve because of the exceptionally strong friendship between a human and a fairy. In the second and third books, Philippa must rescue Daisy from a captor and travel into time itself. At first, Philippa and Daisy don’t get along, but when something goes wrong, they must work together to solve a problem caused by Philippa’s wishes. That is, until a magical fairy named Daisy comes and grants her three wishes.

What with the going-away of her best friend, she becomes lonely and depressed. Philippa Fisher is a girl around the same age, with crazy, wacky parents who embarrass her so much. Emily has an exceptionally strong relationship with the mermaid, they both care for each other - and think each other is the best person (or mermaid) in the world! I enjoyed this series as it’s about friendship and magic, adventure and some interesting concepts.

When her mother allows her to have school swimming lessons, she’s thrilled, but as soon as she’s in the water, she discovers something amazing - her legs can turn in a mermaid’s tail! Find out how Emily becomes best friends with a mermaid, and the fun and danger they get into together! I enjoyed this book thoroughly, and the books 2-6 cover different adventures and new people that they meet. Oddly enough, for just as long, her mother has kept her away from the water.

She’s written two series, Emily Windsnap and Philippa Fisher, as well as stand-alone books: Has anyone seen Jessica Jenkins?, A year without Autumn and North of Nowhere.įor as long as she can she can remember, twelve-year-old Emily Windsnap has lived on a boat in the harbour. I have recently discovered a great author, Liz Kessler.
