Soon they find out a stunning secret. Emily’s father is a prisoner at King Neptune’s palace.
Read this story to find out if the 2 girls succeed in saving Emily’s father or never make it back.
Recommendation – I rate this book 5 stars because the author Liz Kessler is very descriptive. She writes in a style so that when you read the book she can write so much out of one small topic. I think this book is suited for 3-5th graders because some words are hard.
