AUTUMN WINIFRED OLIVER DOES THINGS DIFFERENT
"Everland Volume I: Opal's Book of Winter" a young adult Fantasy novel by R.J. Amado and published by Romeo+Juliet Press is now available to preview at http://www. everlandonline. com If you do not wish to purchase the book, you may still support us by giving us your review on Google books and/or by passing this website along to someone you know. mySpace friend invitations always welcome!
Four teenage girls escape from their miserable foster home existence to a fantasy 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. “Everland Volume I: Opal’s Book of Winter” It's only the beginning.
