Hi! As some of you may know, Fearless was one of the top
anticipated reads of the year. I read this book in eight days, and if you know
me, that is fast for me to read a book. I wanted to do a review of this book
because I loved it so much, and I wanted to talk about how much I devoured this
book.

Explaining my star

Characters
One of the first things that drew me to love this book was
the characters. I loved each and every one of them, and I wanted to know more
about their stories. The characters in this book were delightful, so I needed to
give them a star in my rating. We follow Monica, a girl from California who moves
to New York City for a job as an understudy. In New York City, she meets April,
Hudson, and Relly, other kids in the cast, and they have a bond. All of the
characters in this book were fun, and they each their own distinct voice. In
any book I read, I’m drawn to a friend group, family, or found family, and this
friend group was excellent because they all balanced each other out. My
favorite character was Monica, I loved her persistence and her personality.
Also, like me, she had a love of theatre.
Plot
I don’t want to spoil the book for people that would like to
read this, so I’m going to keep this general. The plot of this book follows the
ghost of the Ethel Merman Theatre. The kids need to follow the clues and save
not only their show but also the Ethel Merman theatre as a whole. I don’t read
mysteries, but this one was so much fun and I want to read more mysteries in
the Middle-Grade Genre. I had so much fun reading the plot of this
book that I needed to include the plot in my star rating.
Setting
The setting in this book is New York City and the Theatre.
This novel had me feeling all the feels and missing being in New York City, and
seeing shows, so I knew that I needed to make sure to give it a star in my
review. The setting in the theatre was detailed, and I love that because I
loved see what the theatre looked like through the character's eyes.
Writing
The writing in this book was excellent. Anyone who reads
Middle-Grade, no matter what age group, will enjoy the writing in this novel.
The detailed writing adding to the story and not distracting the reader from
the plot or the characters is why I wanted to include the writing in my star
rating.
Enjoyment
As you can probably tell, I enjoyed this book so much and I
can’t wait to read the second book when it comes out next year. This book was
so much fun, and it hit me with all the theatre feels.
