Emily Windsnap and the Tides of Time by Liz Kessler Book Review

The Emily Windsnap series continues to get better with every book. Emily Windsnap and the Tides of Time by Liz Kessler has been my favourite of the series so far. 

Emily is a fair and kind young teenager, who goes on epic adventures. The story followed a very similar storyline to the movie 13 Going On 30. Emily gets thrust into the future twice. Each time there are some positive aspects of the future and some situations that are unbearable. After the second time of turning back into her 13 year old self, she comes up with a plan to make her future what she wants it to be. She saves her friendships, the future of her community and ocean. 

This book tackles environmental issues such as plastic and garbage in our oceans. It is brought up in different ways throughout the book. The story also reminds people to enjoy and live in the day. There are many moral and good lessons for kids and teens to read, but to reveal them would give away the end of the story. 

This book was an easy and exciting read. I recommend it for parents who like to pick books with subtle good lessons for their kids. It is also great in getting kids involved in ocean activism and leading them to discover there are alternatives to plastic.

I received an electronic advanced reader copy from Candlewick Press through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own!
