Millie Bobby Brown is writing a book, but not all fans are keen on it. The actress has successfully gone on from the small screen to leading in big movies. Having established herself, the actress even started her own cosmetic company. And now she is ready to add another feather to her hat by becoming an author.
Brown had earlier shared on her Instagram about her debut novel, which then DiscussingFilm posted about on its Twitter account. The novel will be named ‘Nineteen Steps’ and will revolve around the circumstances of World War 2. Apparently, the story has picked inspiration from her own family history. It is supposed to be based on one of the biggest UK tragedies around the time, which was the 1943 Bethnal Green tube disaster. As per MSN, Brown heard the stories from her family, and it touched her deeply.
Millie Bobby Brown is writing her first novel, which will release on September 12.

Liz Stein is the book’s editor and was also touched to know about the story. The tragedy took the lives of around 173 people, including around 63 children. While there were already threats of war, this incident occurred as a result of a stampede, with people dying due to asphyxiation.
Brown already has a huge fan base. But while everyone adores her as an actress, there is some skepticism over the idea of her launching herself as an author. When the news hit social media, fans were quick to express their feelings.
Twitterati was unimpressed by the thought of Millie Bobby Brown launching her first novel
Celebrities often tend to explore other areas in the entertainment field after they make a mark in the acting industry. For Millie Bobby Brown, it meant launching a book. The common feeling is that anything a celebrity does is considered great, even if it is mediocre. There is a feeling that genuine writers or amateur writers do not get the same opportunity or spotlight the way an established actor does.

I wonder if she wrote it herself, or paid someone to write it and be able to slap her name on it

Another common speculation over a celebrity book is that it’s actually written by someone else. A ghostwriter writes it while the celebrity gets all the credit. The recently released memoir of Prince Harry was also ghostwritten.

Since the Stranger Things actress has bagged many roles, one commentator feels that if a book is made, it will probably be turned into a movie that she will lead. Meanwhile, a fan questioned whether the book would have been published if she was not famous. Notably, the actress once expressed her indifference to books and reading, which further increases the speculation over Brown’s authorship.
