Does anyone else remember Diana Wynne Jones's Crestomanci series? I loved her books as a kid -- and still do! Nicole Luiken introduces a different take on mirror worlds, and I was instantly enthralled. Deftly juggling two storylines and worlds, the book is engrossing. I don't read a whole lot of...
