![]() Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. ![]() ![]() What a great story! Bertie grew up in the Théâtre. Each play was written in the Book, and also written in Bertie's memory. She could remember all the lines from all of the plays, but couldn't recall where she had come from. The Players are her only family; each remains trapped inside of the Théâtre by the magic inside the Book, only existing as their play is happening. Bertie is fighting to remain at the Théâtre, along with her Player family, making the stage her home. But she also wants to remember her mother, to find her father, to know about how she came to be at the Théâtre in the first place... This book was fantastic! If you are a fan of the YA-style fiction, it comes highly recommended! The flow of the story, the little quirks from each familiar character and the unique writing style make this a wonderful read. This was so weird and wacky and whimsical and fun! I really don't have much to say about this book... It won't stick with me for a long time. It wasn't maybe the highest quality book I've ever read. It'll never be a favourite. But I just had so much FUN reading it. It was very unique, and I would recommend it to anyone just looking for something fun and light to read. Highly enjoyable.
“Mantchev's first novel feels dreamlike…underneath is a solid story about the search for happiness and identity. Inside jokes will delight drama club devotees…but this passionate debut should attract a broader readership as well.”— “Bertie’s determined efforts to become invaluable form the basic plot in this wildly imagined adventure…Mantchev clearly knows theater from all angles, and she uses inventive play-within-play formats to create a tumble of multiple, even metaphysical narratives filled with delicious banter and familiar characters from the dramatic canon. Many teens, particularly those with some theatrical background, will look forward to the sequel suggested at the end of this bravely flamboyant and wholly original romp.” “Electric…delicious…fascinating…vivid…smart and sassy…bawdy and hilarious…Brava! Encore!” Readers who have some knowledge of or interest in theatrical productions will have the easiest time following the twists and turns of the plot, which is especially confusing in the beginning. However, wondering what crazy thing will happen next will keep them going. The ending is a little unsatisfying, and it is clear that a sequel is coming. Nonetheless, the story is clever, if a bit melodramatic at times, and Beatrice is a fun character. “Lisa Mantchev’s theatrical fantasy ‘Eyes Like Stars’ pits a plucky orphan, Beatrice Shakespeare Smith, and her fairy attendants against the wiles of Ariel and a stuffy stage manager.” Pertence a Série
Thirteen-year-old Bertie strives to save Theater Illuminata, the only home she has ever known, but is hindered by the Players who magically live on there, especially Ariel, who is willing to destroy the Book at the center of the magic in order to escape into the outside world.
