The American Dream

When Allison Parker comes home from school to be immediately cornered and informed by her parents that they're moving to America, her dream country, of course she would be completely ecstatic. Actually, 'completely ecstatic' wouldn't even closely justify what she felt.

And of course her twin brother Dylan would refuse to go, but thanks to Allison's expertise in the art of persuasion, she manages to convince him that moving to America would be nothing but exhilarating adventures and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that just couldn't be missed.

And so with Allison's daydreaming about the big, bustling cities, randomly bumping into famous celebrities down the street, and drinking Starbucks coffee with Beyoncé, it's when they actually arrive that Allison realises that it's absolutely nothing like her daydreams.
