Once upon a winter, four teenage girls escaped from a miserable foster home existence to a world where anything is possible.
Nadya has always dreamed of being a Nature Princess, whatever that is. Opal would settle for a castle with a moat and a matching prince to accessorize with her wardrobe, while Crystal would give anything to be a pretty knight in pink armor. And Sam would just like to be left alone.
Then one night, a genie-like being offers to whisk them away from their decrepit foster home for a whole year to a beautiful idyllic everland where their most deeply treasured fantasies can come alive. No catches, no questions asked, no strings attached. Well, sort of...
Because upon arrival, nobody told these four ordinary girls that among other things they would be pursued by a mysterious Black Knight's horsemen; imprisoned by a bad-tempered King Bear with an infestation problem in his Enchanted Forest; and going up against a Fairy Colony with militaristic ambitions.
R.J. Amado invites you to join Sam, Opal, Crystal, and Nadya for an adventure that's like nothing else you'll ever experience, in this first volume of the "Everland" trilogy. Because when making it through the year means no less than coming home together, nothing else matters.

When I read this book I found it very difficult to put down. It was not only Gripping but the twists and turns in this fantasy as well as Mr. Amado only reveals a little bit of each character throughout the book leaves the reader wanting more enticing them to read further to see what transpires. Through the journey of these four young girls . This book is well written and I loved it Could not wait to read NADYA;S BOOK OF SPRING . EXCELLENT.
The third book of the trilogy, The Chronicles of Henry Roach-Dairier, this volume, as with the others, will appeal to both adults and young adults. Readers will experience several levels of meaning from literal to social satire.
Retail Price: $15
Born of their seeds, kingdom will rise against kingdom, one will hold great mysteries, one will turn the tide and one will not be bound. War is fought, not only on the field but also within the mind. Nothing is what it seems take nothing for granted.
