Receiving this five-star review from Reader Views made my day! It puts me in contention for one of their esteemed awards, the winners of which will be revealed next spring. Thank you, Amanda Caswell, for such a amazing review.


Here's a short extract

The essence of youth idealism is masterfully crafted with characters who embody the spirit of activism and environmental stewardship. Belair has created a standout protagonist with Avery’s supernatural abilities, an animal protector with the very real and relatable concerns of simply being a teen. Avery’s interactions deliver heartfelt dialogue that adds layers to her character’s growth. Honestly, the entire ensemble of characters is so engaging that they thoroughly enrich the storyline.


I would be remiss if I didn’t emphasize that one of the most compelling elements of this story is its environmental focus. It’s what drew me to the book in the first place. Through the eyes of Avery and her peers, readers are introduced to pressing ecological issues, such as deep-sea mining, ghost fishing, and greenwashing that they might not have known about otherwise. These themes are skillfully woven into the narrative, making the novel not only a work of fiction but also a call to action for young readers to reflect on their role in preserving the planet. This blend of fantasy and real-world issues sets “A Stellar Purpose II” apart from typical young adult fiction, making it a thought-provoking and educational read.
