Meet Stellar - an urban crime-fighter who tackles injustice with swift and decisive action, carrying the burden of freeing society from oppression, fighting for the weak and wounded.

She is brave.

She is beautiful.

She is just a comic book character…or at least she was.

Macy Davis is an athletic high school student with an eye for Patrick Newell, the young artist who created Stellar. When Macy’s best friend, Keri Cartwright, discovers Patrick’s comic book heroine, she convinces Macy to masquerade as Stellar. Because to Macy, Stellar is Patrick’s perfect girl. But when Macy dons a homemade costume to surprise Patrick at the Halloween Dance, her debut takes an unexpected twist and the reveal is more than anyone, including Macy, could have ever imagined.

Maybe not groundbreaking but a nice, long "who dunnit" type of story for a younger teen who isn't interested in blood, gore and sexual situations. The adults giving this a bad review have forgotten how to read and enjoy a book that doesn't rely on titillation and adult content.

Good clean fun for a younger teen

This book reminded me of Nancy Drew mysteries, but with updated themes. While the grittier parts of life are glossed over, this is good listen for those who enjoy strong female characters and few twists and turns.

If you like Nancy Drew, Stellar is great listen.

unexpected depth of storyline truly pulled me in and kept me listening. When the narrator's style disappointed, the words of the author kept me enthralled. This was a creative story of a super hero that hadn't planned to be a hero. The reality mixed with the whimsy was sometimes stark in a way that made the story very believable. I would have liked a little more whimsy and less suspense but that's just me. The edge of your seat, nail biting moments seem to be what the public craves in the movies and this could easily become a screen play with the author's excellent imagery. I'll be looking for more by this author. Give this a listen and a read!
Something about the lack of distinctive variation in the narrator's voices for each character left this listener wondering who was speaking and what was going on.

Honestly my only real fault with this is how badly the narrator is at making kiai noises. She does great everywhere else but the moment combat starts and a thug makes these noises it’s like a record skip lol.

Good story, but the combat narrative isn’t it

The main characters are believable. The villains don't act like idiots and the story is compelling.

The voice actor does a great job.

Can't wait to read the second book.

Good young adult superhero story

I loved that the title stayed true to the genre while providing wholesome entertainment and values. Thanks to the two gentlemen that wrote this story!

Loved it.
I'll admit I'm a long-time super hero fan. Just another middle aged, middle class, white male. This was superb. Although I've never read Batman, I imagine it's somewhat similar to early books in its canon. No super powers -- just a person trying to do right against a corrupt city and system. Told from a modern teenage situation.
Anyway, enough review for now -- will try to come back to say more -- gotta get started on the next!

Rushing to next, gotta come back and review proper

About 15 chapters in, and I'm liking it so far.
My only gripe (without spoilers) is that the scene in chapter 11, is very similar to a scene with Robert Duvall from the 2003 movie "Secondhand Lions" . Not enough to claim copying, but definitely inspired by.

Enjoying this so far.
