Everlasting Charli: Illustrated

By Clare-Rose Trevelyan

"Does true love actually exist?" Charli Page loves her life as a waitress amongst the misfits in the jiggery-jaggery, poetry-laced fish restaurant in the heart of Hallowishes. Even though the owner, Alp, is a foul-tempered, sun-wrinkled fisherman with a flair for firing people, Charli is devoted to him and loves her job. She is so happy that she never wants things to change and even goes out of her way to ensure everything stays the same. Until a mysterious, old pirate hell bent on saving the world's oceans returns to town, bringing her superbly crafted submarine and wild ideas of how to save the world with her. Charli never imagines that this ocean of a woman will turn all of their lives upside down and change just about everything she holds dear in the name, or guise, of true love.

Everlasting Charli intertwines questions of environmentalism, trust and true or half-true love. Is it possible to love everybody? And what of animals or planet Earth? The book also asks the readers to think about the nature of competition, and what exactly is that thread inside of us that wants to win.
