Indira Story's greatest wish is to become a character. She's been waiting and hoping, and the day finally arrives when she is chosen to go to Fable and attend Protagonist Prep. She's overjoyed until things go wrong from the start. She fails her entrance audition and gets sidelines to the side character track, but she won't give up. Her goal is to become a protagonist and bring her brother into a story with her.
She attends classes taught by famous characters like Romeo Montague, Fitzwilliam Darcy, and Alice from Wonderland. She also has her mentor, Brainstorm Ketty to help guide her along the way. Indira actually thought she was doing well in her classes until she discovers she's failing. Many of the assignments she worked so hard on have magically erased since she turned them in. Now she's in danger of being demoted to a cameo!
When people are attacked and some students go missing, Indira begins to think an antagonist might be at work in Fable. With her two best friends, Phoenix and Maxi, Indira investigates the misdeeds. It seems the very fate of Fable might be at stake if they can't stop the villain soon! But who will listen to failing side character?
Scott Reintgen's new book is a love letter to book nerds everywhere. There's even a museum dedicated to great librarians throughout history! I'm not sure reluctant readers will be interested, but avid readers will enjoy picking out all the literary references in the story. Recommended.
