Bookroo's summary

Ivy Stewart's dreams at West Archer Academy are shattered when she discovers her new immortality. The Evers, ageless children, want to save her from their fate, even if it means erasing her memories. Meanwhile, Ronan, grappling with his psychic powers, feels uneasy about the Evers. Can he trust them to help Ivy, or will they all be trapped in an endless battle? As Ivy confronts the choice between eternal youth and losing her past, the stakes couldn't be higher. Will she remember her life, or remain twelve forever?

From the publisher

What if you were twelve for all of eternity? From the award-winning author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl comes a magical mystery about a group of kids called the Evers who have been alive for hundreds of years. Ivy Stewart thought West Archer Academy was the first step to everything she’d always wanted. The key to her entire future. But now…she might not even have a future. It’s the start of a new semester, and Ivy’s very old friends and her very new immortality are at odds. The Evers, kids who are hundreds of years old and never age, are determined to save Ivy from suffering that same miserable fate…even if it means she won’t remember them. But what’s worse? Forgetting her family, her friends, her life or never turning thirteen? Ronan is done running from his psychic powers. He knows he can help Ivy–once he figures out how–but he can’t shake the bad feeling he has around the rest of the Evers. Can he trust them? Can the Evers trust Ronan? Or are they all doomed to fight this centuries-old battle forever… and ever?
