Seven strangers who are all in junior high suddenly have their mirrors turn into portals to a castle and are told whoever finds the wishing key and the wishing room will have their wish granted.
Lonely Castle in the Mirror was an interesting read for me. It's melancholy with a bit of mysteriousness to it. I think it was really beautiful. It gave light on how kids/younger teens deal with mental illness and how it affects them. As my reading progressed, I got to know these kids, their experiences, and their struggles. These kids who've lost hope for themselves found each other and became friends. The last 1/3 or so was what really made me enjoy this book because of the plot twists and revelations.
Thank you Edelweiss and Erewhon for my copy.
