In this imaginative, romance-filled sequel to Eyes like Stars, seventeen-year-old Bertie Shakespeare Smith leaves her home, the enchanted Théâtre Illuminata, to rescue Nate, her kidnapped pirate boyfriend. Bertie's words hold magic: everything she writes happens, but outside of the Théâtre, things go awry. The plot sometimes wanders; however, the fantasy's inventiveness and contingent of acerbic Shakespearean fairies will especially please theater buffs.
