The New York Times best-selling series An enchanting tale with a fabulous monster, engaging characters, and plenty of mermaid magic, this second fantasy about Emily Windsnap is filled with charm and warmth.
Une collection donnant à suivre les aventures que partagent Charlotte, Katie, Daisy, Alice, Sophie et Émilie dans l'enceinte de la prestigieuse Princesse Academy, une institution pour princesses modèles. Les héroïnes se partagent la narration, levant le voile sur les cours (dragonologie, haute couture royale, cuisine fine, sortilèges appliqués, maintien et élégance, etc.), les moments de complicité, les rivalités entre les diverses "chambres" (l'équivalent des "maisons" de Harry Potter), les bals, les voeux réalisés par Marraine Fée (l'enchanteresse et intendante de l'établissement), l'austérité de la directrice, le stress lié à l'obtention des Points Diadème (qui sont gages de bonne conduite, donnent droit à des privilèges et permettent aux étudiantes d'accéder à un niveau d'enseignement supérieur), les tenues, etc. -- De nombreuses aquarelles, campant les héroïnes (émules de "Barbie") dans un univers rose bonbon tout à fait stéréotypé, agrémentent cette première lecture dont la couverture est ornée d'étoiles argentées. [SDM].
The princesses are finishing up their studies at Silver Towers, where they earn tiara points that lead to graduating with silver sashes. In these entries, Princess Sophia befriends a shy prince, while Princess Emily saves the day when the twins get into a fight at the Wishing Star ceremony. Illustrations.
Emily Windsnap lives on a boat, but her mother has always been oddly anxious to keep her out of the water. It is only when Emily has her first school swimming lesson that she discovers why: as soon as she gets into the water, she grows a tail! Soon Emily discovers a glorious underwater world of fishes, coral, shipwrecks and mermaids, and, best of all, she finds a best friend! With mermaid Shona Silkfin by her side, Emily uncovers a surprising family secret and embarks on a quest to reunite her mum and dad. This enchanting fantasy deals with universal themes of family, friendship, love and justice - all handled with the lightness of touch for which Liz Kessler is so well known.
