“It’s a successfully creepy tale that steadily builds tension till the end…A promising start to a Twilight Zone–like new series for the early-middle-grade lot.”

The Bizarre Bazaar: Mirror Town

Written by Daniel Nayeri
Illustrated by Liz Enright
Published by Little, Brown Ink

No one ever pays attention to twelve-year-old Abel Azari: not his parents, not the cool kids at school, and certainly not his crush, Ginny Mendoza. To them, he’s always been practically invisible.

That all changes the day he discovers a peculiar mirror in his neighbor’s garage. But this isn’t any old mirror, as Abel finds out soon enough when he accidentally falls through it.

What waits for him on the other side is a world just like his, except something is…off. Suddenly, his busy parents are spending every minute with him, his classmates treat him like a king, and now the girl he’s been crushing on wants to hang out? It’s the life Abel’s always dreamed of; how could he possibly go back to the way things were before?

But not everything—or everyone—is as it seems. Mirror Town hides evil secrets, and Abel will have to unravel them fast before he ends up trapped there forever.
