|title=Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist
|author=Liz Kessler
|reviewer=Magda Healey
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Enjoyable but underwhelming fantasy adventure which will for sure be enjoyed by many girls. Teenage psychology underlying Emily's adventure will enable many to relate to her; especially those dealing with mixed family background, or any worried about fitting in and their own identity. Nothing special, but not terrible either. If you have a daughter of suitable age who is into things magical and mermaidy, you might as well borrow this, but don't buy, especially for the full hardback price. Liz Kessler popped into Bookbag Towers to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Liz Kessler|chat to us]].

I am bit suspicious of books that are clearly aimed at a particular demographic. They seem a tad mercenary and product-like to me. But perhaps it's wrong - after all the 'cross-over' idea also often leads to clumsy results.

|comment= Sounds like something my older daughter would enjoy as she is very much the girly girl. A bit uninspired but if we see it at the library she might be pointed towards it.
