Saving Fable by Scott Reintgen
4.0
What an interesting idea, the thought that the characters in our books had to - basically - audition for them! Some are never chosen, some become protagonists, some become side characters, and some even - horror of horrors - get picked for a story that never gets finished. This is the middle-grade world created by Scott Reintgen, and I found myself quite enjoying it. Indira Story wants to be a protagonist - feels in her bones that she should be one. But she fails her audition, and is told she's struggling in classes. How is she supposed to get that coveted spot in a story just for her?
I quite enjoyed myself with this one - it's fun and interesting and unique, with characters that were also fun and interesting. This would definitely make a great read-aloud for a classroom or at home. No spoilers, but it seemed like there might be more to come? I look forward to seeing how that might happen, and I do recommend this to anyone who enjoys a touch of magic, a touch of adventure & mystery, and a whole lot of heart.
