Laugh, Kookaburra, Laugh
The history of Blue Ridge University is made up of many small stories: that of Cooper, an adult child of an alcoholic, torn between escaping her father's influence and protecting her younger brother; of Christie, planning to be a psychiatrist to help others make up their minds; of Bryn, wanting only to survive college and be with his love; of Sofia, an artist striving to preserve her failing eyesight; of Kanika, dreaming of Broadway...and marriage; of Frenchie, a free spirit wanting to be an international spy; of Logan, an obsessive gamer striving for ambition in order to prove his worth to the girl he loves; of Jazz, who sees herself as skilled on the trumpet and not very much else; of Juniper, a natural-born historian who struggles to live in the present instead of the past; and of Ruth, shy and uncertain outside of the college, fighting to escape the influence of her overbearing mother and make something of herself.
Ten friends. Four years. One unforgettable adventure.
