Bam, crash, whoosh! These sounds are heard often when
Bertie's around.  Seventeen year old Bertie has been at
the theater for as long as she can remember. She and her
fairy friends have frolicked and played there forever.  
But sometimes Bertie longs for her family.  When the
theater manager threatens to kick her out of the theater,  
Bertie realizes she's got to do something, fast. She won't
have any time to look for her family while she strives to
become the director of Hamlet. Now Arial, another player,
wants to get out, but noone can.  It's physically
impossible. Theyr'e bound to the inside. But  Arial knows
how to get out. He's as cunning as he is an actor.  His
betrayal means nothing to Bertie, seeing how he was bad in
the first place.
 But will Bertie be allowed to stay at the theater?  Can
she stop Arial from escaping? And will she ever find out
who her parents are?
 Join in this world where magic and mystery weave together
to create the perfect story!

 

Opinion: 

I thought the book was quite ordinary. In my mind it
wasn't terrible yet not a best seller.  It's  a book for
people who like to keep reading to get all the answers.
Definitely a book   for rainy days! I got the feeling
Bertie wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.  She
smoked and drank, and the vocabulary wasn't  completely
appropriate. It was fiction, almost sci-fi. I thought the
ending was nice, but I thought in the end, Bertie didn't
do much except worry and cause trouble. It's for people
who like magic.
