Synopsis
Today's teens grow up under pressure. While often it comes from peers, it comes just as frequently from the parents and other adult figures in their lives. The teen characters in Great Expectations navigate these pressures as they sneak in and sleep out, and as they overcome divorce, siblings with long shadows, and loss—but also discover joy in the magic of fairies, dancing and their imaginations. -->
