Happily Ever Island

by Crystal Cestari

Overview

Passez de « Il était une fois » à « Et ils vécurent heureux à jamais », le tout en une semaine !

Madison, grande rêveuse et fan inconditionnelle de Disney, et Lanie, étudiante studieuse et pragmatique, sont des meilleures amies improbables, mais elles feraient tout l’une pour l’autre. Ainsi, lorsque la vie de Madison commence à s’effondrer, Lanie accepte de l’accompagner pour tester la toute nouvelle expérience de vacances de Disney : Happily ever island - une destination de vacances immersive, où les adultes peuvent devenir leur personnage Disney préféré pendant une semaine.

Madison sera Cendrillon : toute sa vie, elle a rêvé de vivre comme une princesse de contes de fées ! Lanie, elle, sera Merida – mais elle n’a aucune intention de s’amuser.

Pourtant, une fois sur l’île, rien ne se passe comme prévu : Madison se retrouve à manquer ou à gâcher des « instants magiques ». Pendant ce temps, Lanie se retrouve inopinément emportée dans cette magie à laquelle elle ne croyait pas, et entame une histoire d’amour secrète...

Avec l’amitié, la romance et toute leur vie d’adulte en jeu, Lanie et Madison vivent une semaine pleine de rires et de larmes, allant bien au-delà de la magie Disney.

Editorial Reviews

"Happily Ever Island is utterly magical. A fun, fast-paced tale of love, friendship, and finding your own path. I loved it!”—Morgan Matson, New York Times best-selling author of The Unexpected Everything

"Happily Ever Island is the best kind of Disney magic! Crystal Cestari has created a whole new world full of enchanting environments, characters you’ll cheer for, and romances that’ll have you believing in happily ever after. A must-read for Disney fans of all ages!"—Stephanie Kate Strohm, author of Love à la Mode

Lanie and Madison are charming, well-rendered characters, and the tertiary players get enough shading to make this a skillfully executed character piece. The action is crisp, and the pacing is clean as the narrative provides plenty of reason to explore every inch of the fictional Disney park with charming detail. A confident ode to Disney magic and the perils of growing up.—Kirkus Reviews

From the Publisher

2022-03-16
College freshmen journey to a brand-new Disney resort.

A chance to be one of the first guests to explore Disney’s new themed resort, Happily Ever Island, is a dream come true for Disney fanatic Madison. The new location allows guests to role-play as their favorite characters for an entire week. Madison has picked Cinderella as her Disney persona and had hoped for her girlfriend, Tessa, to join her as the fierce and brave Merida. Alas, Tessa and Madison have hit a rocky patch, so Madison brings along her pal Lanie—despite Lanie’s being a Disney novice. As the two White friends explore the park and experience various bits of Disney magic, both encounter a little more than they were looking for. Lanie finds Prince Charming, a hunky Black man, while Madison begins to fall for Japanese American Valentine, a junior Imagineer who may hold the keys to her future. The pervasive Disney product placement may disrupt the reading experience for some, but readers who are fans will not mind. Lanie and Madison are charming, well-rendered characters, and the tertiary players get enough shading to make this a skillfully executed character piece. The action is crisp, and the pacing is clean as the narrative provides plenty of reason to explore every inch of the fictional Disney park with charming detail.

A confident ode to Disney magic and the perils of growing up. (Fiction. 14-18)
