Description

Three years have passed, and Emma has settled comfortably into her new life. The basement brownies, the troll-green siren Leucosia, and the prehistoric bird George have faded into memory, mere stories she told her best friend Reggie when they were little. Her battle with the evil witch was nothing more than the product of her overactive childhood imagination. But then it starts to rain. 

Before she knows it, Emma is back in Under, this time with a sick Reggie in tow. With the help of new friends (and several old ones), she travels to the mysterious Yesno jungle and a barren island beneath the setting sun, where the choices she makes threaten to destroy everything she loves. She must overcome terrifying challenges both on the sea and below it, all in an effort to save her best friend.

With water, water everywhere, what is a girl to think?

About the Series:

Emma & the Elementals is a fast-paced, action fantasy series about a young girl finding her place in the world through a series of adventures involving magical creatures, and a journey to the centre of the earth. Emma & the Elementals is both a topsy-turvy riff on traditional literary children's fantasy and an allegorical coming-of-age tale.
