In Emerald and the New Arrival, Emerald's mum is expecting a baby and there's so much to do before the big day! Everyone is excited but Emerald can't help feeling a little...unsure. What if she gets woken up at night by all the crying? And what if Mum and her step-dad Auster are too busy with the new baby to think about her? But family life is full of surprises, and Emerald is about to find out that being a big sister is a very special thing indeed.

First, a priceless painting disappears from the Bayport Historical Museum; then, two ancient samurai swords vanish from a private collection.

Emerald goes on a camping holiday with her mum, stepdad King Auster and stepsister Delphine. But it isn’ t like the camping trips Emerald used to take with her dad when she was little.

Emerald is determined to do camping the proper way, without magic, but when she wakes up in the night feeling cold, she decides to use the shell after all – to disastrous effect! When, instead of magicking herself a super cosy sleeping bag, she brings Delphina’ s plushie pufferfish to life, and it escapes.

Emerald's mum and stepdad King Auster are busy preparing for a very important visit from another royal family – The Seadragons!

When Prince Mola Seadragon takes a Manta Ray from the royal stable and runs away, Emerald follows. On an adventure across Scallop City, Emerald and Mola discover they have much more in common than they thought.
