Synopsis
Nicole C. Kear's Foreverland is a big-hearted coming-of-age story about being lost, and finding your way back home again.
Margaret is tired of everything always changing. Middle school's gone from bad to worse. Her best friend's become a stranger. And her family--well, it's not even a family anymore. For twelve years, she's felt like a human pinball, getting bounced around with no control over anything--and she's had enough.
So Margaret's running away--and she knows the perfect place to go. Foreverland, her family's favorite amusement park.
Careful, anxious Margaret is no criminal mastermind. Chances are slim she can pull this scheme off, especially with a hulking, hot-headed Captain of security on the lookout. Luckily, Margaret finds another runaway hiding out in Foreverland. Jaime, a thrill-seeking, fast-thinking rule breaker, teaches Margaret everything she needs to know to stay one step ahead of security.
At first, this after-hours, all-access pass to the park is a dream come true: sleepovers in the Haunted House, nonstop junk food, an unlimited ticket to ride. But nothing lasts forever, not even in Foreverland. As the runaways become friends, they learn each other's secrets, and must face the reasons they left their normal lives behind. With the Captain closing in and her friend's future on the line, can Margaret finally take control?
Foreverland is an exhilarating story about riding life's rollercoaster--figuring out how to hang on and learning when to let go.
