Emily Windsnap series.
Illustrated by

Natacha Ledwidge.
The sixth book features half-mermaid Emily on an island field trip when a ghostly ship appears. Caught between this world and mystical Atlantis, only Emily can rescue the passengers from disappearing forever. Imaginative details of human and mer worlds coexist with simplistic characterization and other narrative turnoffs that fans of the light series may overlook. Black-and-white spot art opens each chapter.

In her fifth book, Emily is recruited by Neptune for a secret mission. According to Neptune's nightmares, "the land of the midnight sun" contains a threat to the survival of all creatures, and Emily and fellow half-merperson Aaron are charged with eliminating it. The setting is vividly depicted, but the pace of this adventure is slow and character development is flat.
