Lisa Mantchev is such a creative talent! I loved Perchance to Dream. This time all the world really is a stage, as Bertie and company leave the safety of the Theatre. At the start of the story, I felt pulled in a dozen different directions at once, but it was fitting, since that's pretty much what Bertie experiences. I kept wanting Bertie to be more careful and specific with her magical scene changes, but then I realized the story wouldn't be nearly as fun. :) Where Theatre Illuminata #1 reminded me of Night at the Museum, #2 reminded me a bit of Alice in Wonderland. Only with more gorgeous scenery and wardrobe and a much more romantic plot line. Love Ariel & Nate - and of course Bertie! I adore the fairies, love the new characters introduced, love the suspense, and especially loved the theater magic. The publisher, Feiwel & Friends', motto is "Our Books Are Friends for Life." This book definitely fits into that category for me. :) Look for the book May 25, 2010!
