Must read required reading addition for any high school, early college literature, history, and creative writing courses. Whew!  Such vast emotions. MIRROR GIRLS slammed raw experiences that provided unforgettable insight to history and its contribution to society "norms".  The haunts. The ghost train. Obsidian mirrors. Mold in the mansion. Floating graves. The magical love of a people triumphing beyond evil. There' s so much that can be unpacked during an amazing book club discussion. Middle grade distinction is misleading. Adults, YA readers get this. MIRROR GIRLS is dynamic. It--like Michelle Coles' "Black Was The Ink"-- is not just history retold fictiously, it's the retelling of the horrific reality of our history ushered in by ghosts...some are angrily haunting. Whew. We are sitting with these twins beyond the last page.
