A girl with a summer job at her familys amusement park crushes on a coworker whod rather be working anywhere else in this fun and flirty middle grade rom-com.
Fourteen-year-old Coco is Morty the Moose for the summerthe official mascot for her familys business, Wonderland Adventure Park. Her first shift in the claustrophobic and stinky moose costume comes in the middle of a heatwave, and of course its when she emerges a sweaty mess that her manager introduces her to the new hire, Henrythe cutest boy Coco has ever seen.
Henry cant believe his parents are forcing him to work at this dorky theme park. Hed much rather be hanging with his friends and working on his soccer game, but recovery from a bad injury would have kept him sidelined anyway. Being deathly afraid of heights, Henry hopes he can at least do his job without going on any of the rides.
After their first awkward meeting, Coco and Henry start to warm up to each other, and Coco confides in him about the parks financial struggles. Soon, she thinks she like likes Henrya lot. As the weeks go on, Henrys dad starts asking oddly specific questions about his job, and Henry starts to suspect theres more to his parents insisting on him working at the park than he thought. When a malfunctioning new ride leaves Henry and Coco stranded at the top, Henrys worst nightmare comes true and secrets get revealed.
