Book Review: Never After: The Thirteenth Fairy by Melissa de la Cruz (author of the Descendants novel series)

 

Summary:  Filomena Jefferson-Cho is a middle schooler living in Nothern California with her protective and loving adoptive parents. At school Filomena is constantly being bullied by a group of popular kids she calls the Alfredos because that's all they eat 🍝. Filomena does not have many friends, so she spends most of her time reading her favorite books from the Never After Series.

One day she's at the bookstore looking for the newest book from her favorite series, the Never After books.  She finds out that surprisingly the author disappeared many years ago.  The publishers haven't found the next book.

She notices she's being followed.  The boy is Jack Stalker, the hero of the Never After series.  He tells her that everything she's been reading about in the series is real, it's actually happened.  At first Filomena thinks he's joking, but he is not.  He convinces her that she needs to come to Never After with him!  Once in Never After, her adventure begins as she meets ogres throwing lightning bolts.  Read the book to find out how her adventure ends!

Star Rating: 3.7/5

Why?: I like this book because it is very exciting and hard to put it down. The book was a little bit scarier than I expected. However, the author, Melissa de la Cruz, made me have big questions about Filomena and the other characters that I wanted to read about more to find answers. 

Filomena is very relatable and that is part of what I really like about her. 

Overall, I am excited to read the next book to when it comes out this February

Scary Scale: 5/10

Why?: This book is scary because many background characters die and, in all prologues, something sad or scary happens.
