A review by dantealice
Street Fair by Katherine Perkins, Jeffrey Cook
5.0
Jeffrey Cook has done it again in this sequel to his story ‘Foul is Fair’.
Fast action, amazing characters, and a wonderful world are only the beginning. Megan is working with Ashling on her music, and Lani finally has a car, so the trio of teens can hang out farther than the part. And what’s coming up? A fair, with concerts both in Seattle, and Faerie. Not to mention: the Goblin Market. Where everything is always for sale. For a price.
Things get heated pretty quick when Ashling sees the man who stole her wings, Megan sells her F# (F sharp) for a good cause, and Robin Goodfellow causes a lot of trouble.
Once again, I connected with Megan. I know I said this in the review for the first book, but seeing ADHD in a book, and portrayed so faithfully, is amazing. Innocuous moments other people read over, I see with a light and a certain sense of appreciation.
Coming off the high from Foul is Fair, I didn’t quite expect the ADHD to play as much a part. But Jeffrey and Katherine stayed true to keeping it as a part of her character. Not at the forefront, necessarily, but essential.
I think my favorite part of this book was definitely the end battle. I won’t spoil here in the review itself, but the action kept my on the edge of my seat the whole time. At one point I actually yelled ‘yes!’ in victory.
The writing kept me hanging on, the characters kept me engaged, and the plot kept me turning page after page.
