Best of TAB 2010 - Eyes Like Stars

By Lisa Mantchev
(YA F Mant)
356 pages 2009 Fantasy Fiction

As the tagline says, "All Her World's A Stage." Beatrice Shakespeare Smith, known as Bertie, lives in The Theatre--on The Stage. The Theatre is where all plays, everywhere, are performed. The Players live in The Theatre too--and they're not actors playing Ophelia and Macbeth--they are Ophelia and Macbeth. If you like hilarious writing, fairies going commando, tap-dancing starfish, references to Shakespearean and other plays, cursed protective charms, a magical stage, and laughing-out-loud moments, you will love this book. (Grades 8 & up)
