FOREVER POPPY

Forever Poppy by José Cruz González is a lyrical and magical story about a young girl of mixed heritage who encounters a village of elders in a forest along the Lost Coast that mysteriously perform Shakespeare plays at night to no one. Forever risks her life to solve this great mystery and the timeless connection these elders have to William Shakespeare, while being pursued by villains trying to stop her. In the end, Forever discovers the importance of family, friends, and place.  This play is appropriate for ages 9 and up.
