Book Review: Secrets Ever Green
Secrets Ever Green by Sara Knightly Genre: Young Adult / Fantasy ISBN: 9798989489107 Print Length: 268 pages Reviewed by Andrea Marks-Joseph "The worst part of my life was pretending to be something I wasn't." Ivy …
"The worst part of my life was pretending to be something I wasn't." Ivy Rune is not the natural Arborist talent everyone believes she is. Every year, in the town of Windermere, students are allocated a career and, in Ivy's case, permanent accommodation, depending on their results in the final practical exam.
If Ivy fails her final exams, she will not have a job in the industry she's trained for, and most importantly, she won't be able to live in her childhood home, which holds her final memories of her father and has been left empty waiting for her in the decade since his presumed death.
"These things were part of my childhood, my history, but I had no claim to them unless I proved I was worthy of his legacy. My father's work and research belonged to the Arborist trade. Even though I was his only child, unless I became an Arborist, I would lose it all."
Ivy should be first in line to win the top spot in the Arborist career avenue. The entire town believes that she will, because—before he disappeared and was presumed dead ten years ago—Ivy's father was the best Arborist the town has ever seen. Unfortunately, she's been coasting by on the good fortune that her classroom partner is studious and trusts that Ivy agrees with her answers from a position of insider Arborist knowledge. On top of the pressure to meet these standards of botanical excellence and the loss of her father, Ivy lives with the crumbling sense of sadness in not knowing her mother before she sailed away one day, so long ago that Ivy does not remember her face.
