A girl with a summer job at her familyâs amusement park crushes on a coworker whoâd rather be working anywhere else in this fun and flirty middle grade rom-com.
Fourteen-year-old Coco is Morty the Moose for the summerâthe official mascot for her familyâs business, Wonderland Adventure Park. Her first shift in the claustrophobic and stinky moose costume comes in the middle of a heatwave, and of course itâs when she emerges a sweaty mess that her manager introduces her to the new hire, HenryâŚthe cutest boy Coco has ever seen.
Henry canât believe his parents are forcing him to work at this dorky theme park. Heâd much rather be hanging with his friends and working on his soccer game, but recovery from a bad injury would have kept him sidelined anyway. Being deathly afraid of heights, Henry hopes he can at least do his job without going on any of the rides.
After their first awkward meeting, Coco and Henry start to warm up to each other, and Coco confides in him about the parkâs financial struggles. Soon, she thinks she like likes HenryâŚa lot. As the weeks go on, Henryâs dad starts asking oddly specific questions about his job, and Henry starts to suspect thereâs more to his parents insisting on him working at the park than he thought. When a malfunctioning new ride leaves Henry and Coco stranded at the top, Henryâs worst nightmare comes true and secrets get revealed.
