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!
