I found this book very strange, fragmented and a little pointless.

Luckily, it was only short.

A fable which is very prescient for the times we live in, this book can be read by adults and older children alike. The illustrations are lovely.

This was really odd. I liked the concept, but the writing had such an undercurrent of malevolence and heavy-handedness that I really struggled to connect with or enjoy it. Honestly, it made me feel unsettled and disturbed.

a fable which is similar to something Neil Gaiman would write. It focuses on a girl who discovers a broken mirror and uses the shard of glass to project an ideal situation as a means of escaping reality. Stick on to the end cause it’s a good one.
