The Evers, Book 2
Written by Stacy McAnulty
Ivy meets some new friends as she pursues her dreams of being a Supreme Court Justice. In the first book an accident happens and Ivy becomes one of the Evers that will stay 12 forever because she was saved from dying. This book definitely made me think! The setting for this book and Forever Twelve is a unique one, maybe a little creepy or eerie even. I was intrigued by the story. It gets a little complicated and this book covers some difficult parts of how the Evers are stuck being the same age for the rest of eternity. I love the historical info that is shared in little bits throughout the book and the ending is satisfying to a point. I’m not sure if there are plans for a third book, but I wouldn’t be upset if there were!
