Meet Me at Wonderland
A girl with a summer job at her family’s amusement park crushes on a coworker who’d rather be working anywhere else in this fun and flirty middle grade rom-com.
Fourteen-year-old Coco is Morty the Moose for the summer—the official mascot for her family’s business, Wonderland Adventure Park. Her first shift in the claustrophobic and stinky moose costume comes in the middle of a heatwave, and of course it’s when she emerges a sweaty mess that her manager introduces her to the new hire, Henry…the cutest boy Coco has ever seen.
Henry can’t believe his parents are forcing him to work at this dorky theme park. He’d much rather be hanging with his friends and working on his soccer game, but recovery from a bad injury would have kept him sidelined anyway. Being deathly afraid of heights, Henry hopes he can at least do his job without going on any of the rides.
After their first awkward meeting, Coco and Henry start to warm up to each other, and Coco confides in him about the park’s financial struggles. Soon, she thinks she like likes Henry…a lot. As the weeks go on, Henry’s dad starts asking oddly specific questions about his job, and Henry starts to suspect there’s more to his parents insisting on him working at the park than he thought. When a malfunctioning new ride leaves Henry and Coco stranded at the top, Henry’s worst nightmare comes true and secrets get revealed.

✰ 2.75 stars ✰
I know, right! 😆 The good ole' keyboard smash that says it all, when words fail! The teasing, the lighthearted quarreling, the flirty but friendly vibes, even the presumed misconceptions, the steady trust, and the gentle vulnerability they showed each other was believably done. Even when Coco felt challenged by Henry's good-natured and easy-going attitude, there was a healthy competitive camaraderie between the two co-workers that was sweet and sincere. 'I felt this weird need to regain control of this narrative.' 🥺 They both had their own issues burdening them, but I liked that despite how Coco was intimidated by him, they were able to still be friends and help each other out in a silly, but sweet way. And just like that, that crush festers and blooms into that uncomfortable realization that you like this person! 😳💕
“Oh wait, your sweatshirt,” I remembered.
“Keep it,” he said. “It looks good on you.”
Now I had chills, but not from the cold.”

Shame that it turned out to be a bit of a mixed read in the end. 😣 It had a a cute premise for a middle grade romance and it was very good at capturing those first flutters of the heart going doki doki with a first time crush on both sides, no less. 🥰 But, there was something about the writing - even with the alternating perspectives between Coco and Henry - that made it difficult for me to be totally engaged. 'His hand locked around my actual wrist. Oh.' I liked the scenes between the two when they would Meet Me at Wonderland. Very honest, very real, very cute in those awkward moments where we don't want to make a fool of ourselves, but we still do! Along with 'oh, this boy is cute, what am I gonna do?' feeling that overwhelms us, when said boy even starts to get those same butterflies in his stomach for you. 🦋 💘
As much as I liked the cute romance between the two, the rest of the plot was a bit of a struggle. The dialogue and interactions with the other characters never made an impact; the exchanges, the meetings - it was very haphazard in the sense that I never felt a connection to it. Maybe to capture the hectic chaos a family-owned amusement park with it's familial-lifestyle and deep-rooted appreciation of its flaws and idiosyncrasies that emanates - 'laughter, memories, and the simple joy of being together'; but, it just wasn't clicking with me. 😕 I also found it odd that though Henry is forced to be here, because he can't be part of his soccer team due to an ankle injury - either he was in the final stage of recovery, but I never got a sense of him being cautious of his ankle, and one sentence only dedicated to ankle exercise really lacked the credulity of it. Or maybe I shouldn't be too nit-picky... 😮💨
“Honestly, it was cute.
“You got this,” I told him.
“Okay, okay, I got this,” Henry said. “We got this.”
The conflict was a predictable one that centered around Coco's determination to save her family's business by being the most reliable and dependable employee ever; even when it lands her in certain hot and messy situations, while Henry was pitted to playing both sides of the fence, unwittingly so, but still determined to rectify the problems he felt guilty for playing a hand. 😟 I was glad, though, that it did not resolve in an exaggerated sense of villainy, but treated in a more reasonable manner, absent of any melodrama - more-like, it is what it is, a mutually beneficial arrangement that works well for all, despite the emotional onslaught that came with it. 👌🏻
A note to the proofreading editors. Yes, it is an uncorrected copy - no points deducted for that, from me. However, there is a glaring inconsistency in the final chapter that must be resolved - an inclusion of perspective not fitting the character the chapter belongs to. I'm sorry that I caught it, but it was too unnerving not to be noticed, especially when it interrupts the train of thought. 😞
And did I immediately break into the lyrics of Taylor Swift's Wonderland before I began? Yes, I did, just to get it out of my system, y'know. 🥰

I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher for promotional purposes.
This was a super cute middle grade romance!
First off, I loved the amusement park setting. The majority of the story took place there and it worked so well. It was fun and added to the playfulness of the romance. The park reminded me a lot of the fictional Walley World from the movie, “National Lampoon’s Vacation” (which is a movie I love).
The romance between Henry and Coco was adorable, especially their awkward meet-cute. It was age appropriate for a middle grade audience. I liked that it included both Henry and Coco’s perspectives. I always love having dual POVs in romance books.
Not only was this a romance but it had a great message about moving on to new places and things. It can be easy to get attached to what you’ve always known and are used to, but the book highlights that change can also be good.
The story does rely on the miscommunication/misunderstanding trope towards the end, which is not my favorite. However, this book is centered around teens so the miscommunication makes more sense in this case.
Overall, I enjoyed this summertime romance set in a theme park. This is the perfect summer break book for middle grade readers!

Petitioning to have more books set at Amusement Parks! Thank you Julia DeVillers for delivering such a fun setting that I love at an older age but know that my younger self would have been GAGA for!
It’s Coco’s first official year working at her family’s amusement park and has goals to make MVP… ASAP. With a new hire… Henry that she starts to crush on… and a little bit of competition to win the MVP spot Coco’s summer is off to a good start until it isn’t.
Middle grade romcoms are some of the most wholesome books out there and this one won my heart. I loved these characters and would love to visit them again. So many opportunities to make future books with Coco and Henry 😉 The setting is one of my favorites I’ve read in a long time. You can hear the rollercoaster zipping by, smell the funnel cakes, and maybe the moose suit 🫎

I finally caved and read this as a strong recommendation from my almost 11 year old. She said “best book ever!” and devoured it in two days. I humored her and it was a very cute read! An age appropriate meet cute with likable characters and fun banter.

This was a sweet summer romance set at a family run amusement park that has two tweens falling in love as they work as employees and try to save the park from being bought out by a new company. I liked that there was anxiety rep and complicated family relationships. It was good on audio and perfect for fans of books like Almost flying.

This book should be shelved in fantasy for the story arc of Henry's father. 4 stars for the teen budding romance though.
March 18, 2025
this was super cute! i actually really enjoyed this even though the intended audience is probably around the 11-13 age range! i thought this was fun and lighthearted while still lightly touching on serious topics, ie., cancer, which is something that so many young kids are faced with daily and i think this book did a really good job at showing that. i thought coco was really funny and reminded me a lot of myself when i was about to go into high school. i think she was a super realistic teenager and a great fmc for this story! i also really liked henry and think he is also a perfect depiction of a young teenage boy! the way he reacted in situations is very realistic and we got to see him work through those reactions and overcome his inner struggles. i loved that this was dual pov and first person! it made for a really easy read that was very fast paced. if you have a younger reader in your life, i highly recommend checking this one out!

So this book was super cute however I didn’t realize they were in middle school and I found it really hard to connect to the characters because it’s been way too long since I’ve been that age.
I did really like the way Coco was written though, it felt very real to how a 15-year-old girl think/ and behaves . I just don’t think Henry was written the way of 15-year-old boy would think but I’ve ever been a 15-year-old boy so who knows. Since the writing for Henry felt off compared to Coco‘s and made it a little bit more difficult to get into the storyline and buy into what was happening.
I did absolutely love the atmosphere, and how everything takes place on an amusement park that is one of the main reasons I picked up this book. Especially since I’ve worked the theme park however, some things did not make sense at all to me like a 15-year-old being in a mascot costume, how fast a roller coaster was built, the way the park was run etc
but again it is just a little romance book.
My other major complaint was the big dramatic reveal/climax of the book felt a little lacklustre which sucked since I actually was really invested. I was intrigued by the direction they chose to take it so I wish it was built up a little bit more and we got a little bit more detail.
Overall, it was a super cute read, but I couldn’t give it anything more than three stars since it was really hard to relate to it and it felt very juvenile. (again it’s written for that age group, so it’s not a bad thing just wasn’t for me.)

Meet Me in Wonderland is the perfect pick for fans of sweet, slow-burn YA romance with real emotional bite. Set in a charming family-run theme park, this story follows Coco as she wrestles with the idea that the dream she’s been chasing—keeping Wonderland in the family—might not be everyone else’s dream too.
Cue Henry: the boy with a soft heart, a complicated father, and a mistake that just might cost him everything. His betrayal hurts, but his redemption? Whew. It’s tender, raw, and exactly what Coco deserves.
It’s cozy, it’s heartfelt, and it hits that bittersweet note of growing up and letting go. A solid 4-star read with just enough ache to make the sweetness land.
For readers who want love, legacy, and just a little heartbreak with their happily ever after.

Meet Coco and Henry in the amusement park called “Wonderland”, set in the beautiful Adirondack mountains! They will take you on an adventurous, often hilarious, and sometimes scary tour of the park! Be sure to stick with Coco, because 1.)as the owner’s daughter she grew up here , so knows every nook and cranny, and 2).she sometimes gets her friends jobs here! Plus, Henry’s really new, so he’s learning the ropes about everything, from moose facts to how to choose the coolest arcade prizes. But there’s a few surprises around the corner for him and for Coco herself…
The main characters were 15, but the content would be very appealing for middle-grade readers as well as for Y.A. (especially those contemplating summer jobs!) I know as a parent/teacher, the absence of underage drinking, drug use, foul language, and sex scenes for a Y.A. novel was a refreshing change. This sweet romance book was like a breath of fresh air!

This was such a cute upper middle grade read. I loved following Coco and Henry in this romance story. I quickly fell in love with this book’s cast of characters and the overall storyline. This book had a lot of moments that made me laugh and also had me feeling for the characters at times. I really liked the amusement park setting since I haven’t read many books with that setting. Overall this was an excellent sweet romance book that I definitely recommend picking up.

This was just so cute and just plain FUN to read! I love a good MG contemporary sometimes☺️ Meet Me at Wonderland doesn’t beat out LynnVisible for me, but I did really really enjoy it. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy summer read (for yourself or a kid).
also…RIP Kingda Ka, if you know you know lol. I bet Knox made a whole youtube video about it and made Coco and Henry watch it 🙈

Thanks to NetGalley and Julia DeVillers for the ARC read!!
Talk about the cutest meet cute or should I say “moose-cute”!? I’m 28 years old and found this to be such a cute and fun read so I know for a fact any teen would love this! It took my back to the nostalgia of going to amusement parks as a teen and made me want to re-experience being at that age. I loved the perspective from both main characters (usually my favorite romance books have both) and I was rooting for their love! And the playlist, I’m obssesed!!
Julia DeVillers is an amazing author and I loved all the ties to home mentioned.❤️
Take me to Wonderland! And PLEASE give us a relationship status update on Coco and Henry!! I’ll be the first to buy a time jump book, I have to know what happens next!

A cute and quick read about Coco, a 14-year-old who is working at her family's amusement park for the summer. The characters occasionally felt a bit immature for their age, but I think older middle-grade/younger YA readers will identify with the characters and enjoy the plot, writing, and plentiful moose puns. 4 stars.

This was a super cute read! The target audience is definitely younger readers, I’d say maybe 12/13+
The characters are likeable, and Henry was super sweet. There are realistic family dynamics, and how the characters act and talk is very similar to how actual teenagers of that age act, so I was happy with that.
The reason this isn’t 5 stars, is that while I can acknowledge that it’s a cute, fun rom-com story, it is targeted to younger ages, which I did not realise at first. So it’s not for me, as I prefer a bit more substance and backstory that is usually in New Adult romance books. This would totally be a fun read for a younger teen though!
I also would’ve liked to know a bit more about the characters backstories, and the history of the amusement park.
Overall, it’s a solid read and I would definitely recommend it to the younger audiences.

Coco is excited that she will finally get to work at her family's theme park, Wonderland. It was started in the 1960s by her grandfather, who is now living in Florida. Coco's mother has recently fought cancer, but is slowly getting back to her old self now that she is in remission. Older sister, Quinn, wants to play volleyball in college, but doesn't have enough scholarship money to go to Ohio State, so will be taking a gap year. There's no nepotism at Wonderland, so when Coco is assigned her first job, she gets a definitely lower tier one-- being the park mascot, Morty the Moose. It's hot, it's stinky, and she is attacked by a small child who tries to take off her head! She's rescued by Quinn, and stumbles into the break room, where she meets the very cute new hire, Henry. In alternating chapters, we learn that Henry is staying with his father at his lake house for the summer after his "flakey" mother didn't show up for one of his soccer games. In his anger, he kicked a locker, damaging both it and his foot. He has to pay for the door, and needs the summer to recuperate. His father, who is a real estate developer, arranges an interview at Wonderland for him. While working at a "lame" amusement park isn't what Henry wants to do, he looks at it as an opportunity to impress his father, and since he thinks that Coco is cute (even when she's sweaty), he does his best job. Coco's best friend Allie also gets hired, and Coco throws herself into training the new workers. When she overhears that her parents might have to sell the park, she's devastated. She's jealous when everyone seems to know Henry, and he has a lot of innovations that help the park make money, but since he makes her a playlist, she still hangs out with him. The two even spend quality time together taking care of Tuesday, the eight year old daughter of his father's girlfriend, when she is sick. When it turns out that Henry's father, unbeknownst to him, is trying to buy Wonderland, the two have a bit of a falling out, but things work out beautifully for everyone in the end... and the moose costume gets laundered more frequently!
Strengths: This. This. This. Combine a fascinating setting (working in a theme park) with a sweet romance (both like each other right away), and add in realistic family dynamics, and this is just the sort of book that will help alleviate readers' anxiety instead of causing it! Things aren't perfect; Coco has to deal with family financial problems, her sister graduating from high school, and her mother's struggle with cancer. She also is jealous of Henry's business acumen and people skills, and doesn't feel that she's helping her family enough. Henry has to deal with his absent mother, father's new girlfriend, his fear of heights, and his conflicted feelings about soccer and his anger. While Henry and Coco like each other right away, it doesn't mean that they immediately start dating; DeVillers brilliantly depicts the awkward road that young teens have to travel in order to start a relationship. Add the "Wonderground" storage area of old equipment, a plethora of moose jokes, the Adirondacks setting, and behind-the-scenes information like "Code Chuckles" and how to find keys in a ball pit, and Meet Me At Wonderland is an E Ticket of a middle grade novel. (For those of you under 50, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Di...)
Weaknesses: Strangely, I wanted a LOT more information about the beginnings of the park and the grandfather in Florida. We see him only briefly, and he gives his approval for what happens to the park, but there is a whole 'nother historical novel about Wonderland in the 1960s that could be written. I have a weak spot for small theme parks, especially of the Storybook Forest variety.
What I really think: This is a fantastic romance book that should appeal to both boys and girls, and has displaced Dessen's Along for the Ride as one of my top three romance books. (Cleary's Fifteen and Heldring's The Football Girl are the other two.) Hand this to fans of Blecher's Listen to This or Miller's Not if I Break Up With You First, or anyone who wants a good look at the back stage of a small theme park!

Coco is excited that she will finally get to work at her family's theme park, Wonderland. It was started in the 1960s by her grandfather, who is now living in Florida. Coco's mother has recently fought cancer, but is slowly getting back to her old self now that she is in remission. Older sister, Quinn, wants to play volleyball in college, but doesn't have enough scholarship money to go to Ohio State, so will be taking a gap year. There's no nepotism at Wonderland, so when Coco is assigned her first job, she gets a definitely lower tier one-- being the park mascot, Morty the Moose. It's hot, it's stinky, and she is attacked by a small child who tries to take off her head! She's rescued by Quinn, and stumbles into the break room, where she meets the very cute new hire, Henry. In alternating chapters, we learn that Henry is staying with his father at his lake house for the summer after his "flakey" mother didn't show up for one of his soccer games. In his anger, he kicked a locker, damaging both it and his foot. He has to pay for the door, and needs the summer to recuperate. His father, who is a real estate developer, arranges an interview at Wonderland for him. While working at a "lame" amusement park isn't what Henry wants to do, he looks at it as an opportunity to impress his father, and since he thinks that Coco is cute (even when she's sweaty), he does his best job. Coco's best friend Allie also gets hired, and Coco throws herself into training the new workers. When she overhears that her parents might have to sell the park, she's devastated. She's jealous when everyone seems to know Henry, and he has a lot of innovations that help the park make money, but since he makes her a playlist, she still hangs out with him. The two even spend quality time together taking care of Tuesday, the eight year old daughter of his father's girlfriend, when she is sick. When it turns out that Henry's father, unbeknownst to him, is trying to buy Wonderland, the two have a bit of a falling out, but things work out beautifully for everyone in the end... and the moose costume gets laundered more frequently!
Strengths: This. This. This. Combine a fascinating setting (working in a theme park) with a sweet romance (both like each other right away), and add in realistic family dynamics, and this is just the sort of book that will help alleviate readers' anxiety instead of causing it! Things aren't perfect; Coco has to deal with family financial problems, her sister graduating from high school, and her mother's struggle with cancer. She also is jealous of Henry's business acumen and people skills, and doesn't feel that she's helping her family enough. Henry has to deal with his absent mother, father's new girlfriend, his fear of heights, and his conflicted feelings about soccer and his anger. While Henry and Coco like each other right away, it doesn't mean that they immediately start dating; DeVillers brilliantly depicts the awkward road that young teens have to travel in order to start a relationship.

Coco’s family has owned and operated the Wonderland Amusement Park for generations and finally, at 15, she is old enough to work the summer season like her older sister and parents. But being the owner’s daughter doesn’t earn any extra privileges and she gets stuck inside the smelly, hot Morty the Moose costume on her very first day. Worse, she face plants in the break room trying to navigate the huge antlers and clunky hooves and tosses her pizza lunch right into the lap of the cutest boy she has ever seen. But new employee Henry has a great sense of humor and the two hit it off right at the start. But this is YA romance so all is not smooth sailing for the pair-beautiful Eva also has eyes on Henry, Coco is desperate to be award Moose-t Valuable Player/Employee of the Week and prove to her father how capable she is but Henry is such a natural he comes up with new ways to improve customer relations and increase revenue, and it turns out that Henry’s father is into real estate investments, has his eye on Wonderland and is the reason Henry applied for a job at the park. Ample material for relationship ups and downs and misunderstandings and being told in alternating viewpoints from Coco and Henry means the reader will understand what both of them are thinking and hoping all the confusion gets
Great characters in slightly insecure and often anxious Coco and handsome, popular, athletic Henry as well as in Coco’s very loyal summer time only best friend Allie and even Coco’s older sister Quinn who is working a gap year in order to save money to attend Ohio State and play college volleyball. Henry’s dad’s girlfriend Stella and young daughter Tuesday add a great deal to the plot line and even Tuesday’s fat cat has a part to play. Great supporting characters are found within the park in teens Eva and Knox and older employee Otto. Mixed into the main story between Coco are bits about managing anxiety and a debilitating fear of heights plus references to Coco’s mom’s successful but difficult battle against cancer.
Text is free of all profanity, violence is limited to some serious throwing of pizzas and balls from the ballpit, and the physical expressions of teenaged crushes are limited to some gravity forced contact on rides, some hand-holding and two kisses that are more sweet and sensual. Older high school students may find this romance to be way too tame if they are looking for the intense sex present in Sarah Maas’ works or similar but many will enjoy the natural progression of Coco and Henry’s summer love story and all the relationships present at Wonderland. With the lack of profanity and sexual content, MEET ME AT WONDERLAND might be just the ticket for those 6th graders who are looking for romance in their reading choices and certainly has a place in jr high and high school libraries.
Thanks for the eARC, Edelweiss.

This is a cute book that involves the stomach dropping effects of first crushes and relationships alongside roller coasters and amusement park mascots. Packed with cute and awkward moments, it’s a wholesome adventure for kids who have ever wanted to work in an amusement park or fall in love.
What this book did well was capture awkward teen moments of crushes and relationships. There’s a lot of awkwardness and cute moments that are wholesome and age appropriate for the audience. The competition between them and their growing friendship is cute and fun. It reads a bit younger than the main characters are, but it’s ideal for kids in middle school.
The plot had some issues. The conflict was extremely predictable, making Henry look stupid for not realizing what was going on until earlier. Also, if the park is having financial problems, how did they end up being able to buy a new ride? If the park was struggling so much, why did a developer want to buy it? If Henry had an ankle injury that is preventing him from playing soccer, why is doing a job like an amusement park where he’d be walking around all the time a good idea? Also, why has she had such a bad falling out with her old friends at school — and why is it mentioned at all except in the very beginning and very end if It doesn’t really matter? I also wish the ending had a more gradual end or showed more from the characters taking action instead of everything just being tied up nicely.
I wish some of the characters were developed better. We have the best friend who is only there in the summers, but we don’t know much about her, and we have some interactions with other park workers but we don’t know much about them either than one defining characteristic. It doesn’t feel very fleshed out. Also, why is everybody here into moose puns? One or two characters might be one thing, but it seems like the puns were coming from all directions. It’s also difficult sometimes to understand what Coco wants. Does she want to work in the park or not? It’s almost like there was a draft where she wanted to and a draft where she didn’t and some of the discrepancies between them didn’t get resolved.
Overall, while there are flaws and the book isn’t anything particularly special, it’s a cute book that is a great intro for the age group it’s intended for.

This is a fun and flirty middle-grade romantic comedy about fourteen-year-old Coco Cooper, who works as Morty the Moose mascot at her family’s amusement park, Wonderland Adventure Park. When she embarrassingly meets the new hire, Henry—emerging sweaty from the stinky costume—sparks fly despite their rocky start. This dual POV romance authentically depicts first crushes and the trials of coming of age. The story balances lighthearted moments with deeper themes as both teens navigate family pressures, workplace rivalry, and the revelation that Henry’s father, a real estate developer, may have ulterior motives for the park.
What stood out to me was how DeVilliers perfectly captures the mix of mortification and attraction that defines teenage crushes. I loved the behind-the-scenes glimpse into amusement park life—from the dreaded mascot costume to employee dynamics and all those delightful moose puns. What I found most moving was how both Coco and Henry grow throughout their summer jobs, learning to look beyond first impressions and support each other through genuine challenges. DeVilliers’s portrayal of their banter and slowly building friendship resonates deeply with that age when everything feels both terrifying and magical. This book conjured nostalgic memories of summer jobs, first crushes, and the unique joy of small-town amusement parks.

Make no moose-stake. This is an amoosing story that you simply must include in your summer reading.😎
The seasonal visits to parks like Wonderland are firmly rooted in Americana. For my family it was Adventureland in Altoona, IA and then road trips to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. Julia DeVillers has given us a feel good story that so many can relate to. Here are five of my favorite things:
💑The moose-cute meeting between Coco (daughter of the owners) and Henry (a warbler - summer tourist) sets the tone for a delightful story.
🎢There is an iconic roller coaster that anchors the park --the Rockin' Roller Coaster. It reminds me of The Orient Express that I would ride over and over with friends in the 80's.
🎶Henry shares a playlist with Coco. Awww. He calls it DJ Henry's Club Wonderland Playlist. As their friendship grows, both add meaningful tunes to share moosic-related memories.
5️⃣Coco struggles with anxiety and models the 5-4-3-2-1 strategy beginning with five things you can see, four things you can touch, etc.
👭Coco has a supportive family and coworkers. Her family has an established atmosphere of mutual appreciation and respect for employees and visitors. I would love to work there!
A big thank you to Amina for putting this book on my radar screen. She did not like it nearly as much as I did, but her review piqued my interest.
And thank you to Aladdin and Edelweiss+ for a DRC in exchange for an honest review.

14-year-old Coco Cooper has dreamed of working at Wonderland Adventure Park, her family's pride and joy in the Adirondacks. Even being forced to dress as Morty, the park mascot, on her first day can't ruin her vibe. Better yet, Henry is also working there. He's a cute soccer player using the summer to pursue a part-time job while his ankle heals. And while Coco is initially jealous of Henry's astounding work ethic (and the attention it earns him), the two eventually find themselves hitting it off.
There's just one problem: the park has buyers swarming around it, and Henry's businessman dad seems awfully interested in the ins and outs of Wonderland. It's not long before Henry discovers he's been an unwitting pawn in a move that could alter the entire future of the park. And knowing how much of Coco's heart is in the family business, this could spell disaster on multiple levels.
Meet Me at Wonderland is an adorable rom-com for middle readers, and of special interest for anyone who's had a part-time job at (or an attachment to) the local theme park. While older readers will see the plot twist a mile out, younger readers will enjoy following the dramatic plot to its climax high above the park. While the usual "lack of communication for the sake of drama" rules are in effect, those are somewhat counteracted by an ending that is less by-the-numbers than one might expect.

I read this book at Disneyland, before, and after. The perfect place to read a book about a theme park, is either in a theme park or before DON'T READ IT AFTER!!! I was really suffering with the Disney blues/FOMO, and this book did NOT help 😭. Anyways... This book was fantastic!! While the ending was bittersweet, I really enjoyed this book! I really liked Coco's (female lead) character arc about selling the park, and Henry's (male lead) character arc about his dad's new girlfriend and her daughter (I forgot their names). Speaking about character arcs, this book is chalk-full of them! Like, there honestly could've been too many. (Which is part of the reason I deducted a star) I also loved Coco and Henry at the top of the drop tower scene although I do wish it was a little too short, which brings us too... The full reason why I deducted a star, is because I wished the book was a little longer! I feel like the love triangle stuff with the girl who worked at the candy shop (again, forgot her name) was cut a bit too short, same with the soccer teammates scene. I also wanted to see a little more from Coco's friend and sister (argh! I just read this book two days ago, why can't I remember anyone's name?!?)
In summary, this is a great summer read (especially if you're going to a theme park) for anyone in late elementary through early high school, I rate this book this book 4.4 stars, and this is one of my new favorites.

Working at Wonderland Adventure Park is a right of passage for 14 year old Coco, who is spending her summer dressing up as Morty the Moose for her family's business. Living in the shadows of her seemingly perfect older sister, Coco struggles with confidence and being seen as a reliable employee.
Henry starts working at Wonderland Adventure Park after a bad choice gets him knocked out of the summer soccer camp and his dad wants to teach him responsibility. After literally bumping into each other, Coco takes notice of Henry but as he seems to keep being recognized as the better employee, their rivalry begins. Even if it’s kind of one sided. And things take an even worse turn when Henry figures out why his dad forced him to get a job at Wonderland Adventure Parks to begin with.
I found Meet Me at Wonderland by Julia DeVillers to be an engaging middle grade novel with romance theming. Perfect for the kids who are ready to read romance, but not quite ready for the young adult section. There is also strong theming about the importance of families, sisterhood, friendships, honesty and taking responsibility. I was lucky enough to have both a physical copy and the audiobook, and I found both versions easy to consume. I finished this in a day, really enjoyed it and passed it off to my daughter.
Thank you Simon Kids & Simon Audio for the gifted copies.

40/100 ro 2.0 stars
I was hoping to have a lot of fun with this story, as I worked at a small amusement park when I was a teenager as welll. This did not work for me, unfortunately.
It is marketed as middle-grade, but I don't know why they made the characters 15/16 instead of 12/13, since they did not act like they were older than 12/13. The way the adults are written was not realistic, and the dialogue was cringey a lot of the time for every character. I do think this could have worked better if they aged the characters down to 12/13, which is how they were acting/speaking/behaving anyway. The plot points were not all that interesting, so as the story went on, I was losing interest fast.
I wanted to like this, but I need to be honest and a three star rating wouldn't be honest.

Coco is excited to start her first summer working at her family's amusement park. Henry begrudgingly accepts his first job at the park at his father's urging. They first meet when Coco embarrassingly crashes to the floor in the moose mascot costume. They are quickly paired up for training and they get to know each other slowly.
Coco struggles with some anxiety and she worries that her family's business is struggling. Henry hides his fear of heights from everyone, so he doesn't look weak. As they get closer it is clear that this is a relationship is becoming more than just a friendship.
I enjoyed reading Coco and Henry's perspectives. I thought they were both sweet and unique. Each had some interesting conflicts to overcome. Middle schoolers who are interested in crushes and romance will enjoy this one.
