Fake Nora by Kelly Martin
5.0
5/5 stars
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Nora’s mom loves antique shopping. One day, she purchases a mirror labeled “Do Not Touch” and brings it home. Nora, drawn to the mirror, can’t help but touch it which proved to be a horrible decision. She ends up in “Reflectionland” while Fake Nora, her reflection, lives her life. Another boy, Jesse, is trapped with her, along with creatures known as the bad ones. If Nora wants to get out of Reflectionland in one piece, she’ll have to find a way to escape.
This middle grade novel is such a good read! The story is short and moves right along. This is the kind of horror novel I wish I could have read when I was in elementary or middle school! This book is totally clean, so parents don’t have to worry about the content. Younger me would have loved this; it’s creepy but not too creepy for younger audiences. The settings in particular are so well-written; they are what truly makes this book spooky. The author's unique writing style also adds to the book. Full of action and mystery until the very end, this story is sure to be a hit among younger readers looking for a spooky tale. I'd recommend to fans of the Goosebumps series or Coraline. Anyone who has ever heard the Bloody Mary stories might also be interested in this book!
