An interesting dive into the third book of a series. The characters are from imaginative fantasy. There are petit faries constantly looking for a sugar fix, and characters from Shakespeare and other plays. The main character, Bertie, is in love with two of the characters, Ariel, from The Tempest, and Nate, a pirate. Bertie is trying to reunite her parents and save her theater. The characters go through perilous journeys, get wishes and face evil. I’m sure I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the first two episodes previously. Great book cover!
