Mary Beth Allen: IamAdore, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Operation escape is now in effect!" Gus interrupted, whispering in Marie's ear. "Hurry and get ready." He pulled her to a seated position.

"Dad's drunk again?" she asked, her fear evident in the tightness of her tone. She flung off her blankets, her long legs sliding to the side of the bed.

"Yea, we gotta get out of here. I don't want anyone hurt like the last time."

Gus, Marie, and Matthew Murphy escape their father and end up in the colorful country Iamadore. They live with the Tomtoms, creatures shaped like fuzzballs with rainbow colored eyes and enough love to fill the entire world. Or do they? Gus doesn't believe it. Everyone that pretends to love is out to get something from you, and he is going to prove it.

Does Gus accept the love of the Tomtoms, or does he reeturn home to his abusive father?
