Summary

Beyond the mirror, the darkest fairy tales come alive....

For years, Jacob Reckless has enjoyed the Mirrorworld’s secrets and treasures.

Not anymore.

His younger brother has followed him.

Now dark magic will turn the boy to beast, break the heart of the girl he loves, and destroy everything Jacob holds most dear... unless he can find a way to stop it.

Good story for the kids to listen to and Adults

This is a good story, but will definitely be followed on by further books as the story is a bit unfinished.
Suitable for boys and girls.
We listened to it with my 9 year old daughter and 13 year old son who both enjoyed it.
Narrators voice is good - not annoying like some of them can be!

A fairy story.

I don't know what it was about this book that didn't grab me & hold my interest as I expected. I just never felt as though I cared about any of the characters and I definitely thought the narrator's voice was too bland to portray all the voices well.
I really wanted to love the Mirrorworld as much as Funke's Inkworld but I couldn't there's no Dustfinger or Capricorn here and Jacob isn't dynamic enough to make a great read.
Sorry ... just 3* from me.
