The Mirror's Tale: A Further Tales Adventure

by P. W. Catanese

The Mirror's Tale: A Further Tales Adventure Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Everyone has heard the story — the dwarves, the talking mirror, the evil witch. But this tale doesn't belong to Snow White anymore....

Bert and Will, the twin sons of the baron of Ambercrest, are best friends. They do everything together and can't help it if trouble just seems to...find them. But the baron is fed up and has decided that separation will keep them out of mischief. One twin, he proclaims, will stay in Ambercrest for the summer, while the other will be sent to The Crags — a foreboding, rocky outpost on the edge of the kingdom.

It is there, hidden in a forbidden black chamber, that one of the boys discovers a bejeweled and mysterious mirror. What is the precious object? And why does it make him feel so...powerful? Soon the twins' kinship is replaced by dark magic and deceit, and a kingdom hangs dangerously in the balance. What becomes of one who is ruled by the forces of evil? And can brotherly love conquer a consuming quest for power?

Synopsis:

In this fourth adventure by the author of "The Thief and the Beanstalk," 13-year-old twins Albert and William are descended from the princess known as Snow White. When one discovers a mysterious mirror, the boys' kinship is replaced by dark magic and deceit.

Synopsis:

Thirteen-year-old twin descendants of Snow White and heirs to the Castle Ambercrest are separated to determine who should become baron, but when one of the boys uncovers a mysterious mirror--the same one present in Snow White's tale--the boys' kinship is replaced by dark magic and deceit, hanging the kingdom in the balance. Original.
