Praise
What readers are saying
Finding Everleigh is the kind of book we can all relate to. Everleigh's quest to decide what she really wants, inspired by secrets from her past, sends her on a fun adventure through Europe, which is really an adventure of her soul. This armchair travel opportunity will inspire you to take your own journey both abroad and internally.
My granddaughter and I just discovered this wonderful book! I gave it to her, and she was completely absorbed, finishing all 16 chapters in no time. Afterwards, she eagerly asked if there were more adventures featuring Mr. Ri — a clear sign of her love for the stories.
