Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev


Hey everyone! I finished this book a couple days ago, it was great!!

Story:
ENTER STAGE RIGHT....
Beatrice Shakespeare Smith has known nothing but the Theatre. She grew up there and has never stepped foot outside it's enchanted walls. Along with Bertie, the cast from every play that the Theatre performs lives there too, magically bound within the Theatre's walls. Although she loves her friends, Cobweb, Moth, Mustardseed and Peaseblossom (four mischievous fairies) and her heart skips a beat every time Nate - a gorgeous, overprotective, superstitious pirate - walks in the room, Bertie knows that she's missing something. She doesn't remember how she got to the Theatre, has never met either of her parents, and has a gnawing feeling that she knows more than she thinks. Trying again and again to reenact her arrival to the Theatre, hoping to uncover something she missed before, Bertie will never quite trying to defog her murky past. But when the Theatre begins to fall apart at the seems, Bertie must try to piece it back together and hope to find a match within the ruble for her unfinished puzzle of a life.

"What's past is prologue, and the world awaits."

This was a really amazing book! It was a totally unique idea and the author did such a good job with it! The characters are amazing (especially Nate) and even though it's a world of magic, the story is very believable! I give it a 5 out of 5 and recommend it to Shakespeare, fantasy and theater fans! Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!

thanks for reading,
