Furthermore draws inspiration from bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s childhood love of books like A Secret Garden and Narnia. Mafi crafts a spellbinding new world where color is currency. Adventure is inevitable. In the most unexpected places, one finds friendship.
Twelve-year-old Alice Alexis Queensmeadow only cares about three things: Mother, who wouldn’t miss her; Magic and color, which seem to elude her; and Father, who always loved her. The day Father disappears from Ferenwood, he takes nothing but a ruler with him.
Three years have passed, and Alice wants to find him. She loves her father even more than she loves adventure. She embarks on one to find the other.
But bringing Father home is no small matter. In order to find him, she’ll have to travel through the mythical, dangerous land of Furthermore. There down can be up, paper is alive, and left can be both right and very, very wrong.
It takes all of Alice’s wits and every limb she’s got to find Father, to return home to Ferenwood in one piece. On her quest to find Father, Alice must first find herself. She must hold fast to the magic of love in the face of loss.
