Some Kind of Happiness
by Claire Legrand
by Claire Legrand
Forced to spend her summer with grandparents she has never met while her parents deal with their marital issues, eleven-year-old Finley finds an escape in her beloved notebook. In her notebook she writes lists as well as stories about Everwood, an imaginary place that she has created. When she sees a large forest behind her grandparents’ home, she realizes that this is the magical place that she has been writing about. Imagination combines with reality as she and her cousins turn the forest into a real-life Everwood. As she continues to struggle with frequent bouts of sadness and anxiety, Finely realizes her newly discovered Everwood is also home to a past tragic event and a long-hidden family secret.
Combining reality and fantasy, this is a wonderful story that I think many readers will enjoy. This was one of those books I could not put down until I finished!
