Mirror Girls by Kelly McWilliams

4.0

---

A spooky, historical fiction read based on a family curse and steeped in the racism and classism that our country is founded upon. McWilliams is the daughter of Jewel Parker Rhodes and has inherited her mother's knack for writing and storytelling. The story is told in alternating viewpoints of the twins, but that doesn't create any problems with coherency or clarity. Taking place in the 1950s amid the height of white flight and classism of the 20th century, "Mirror Girls" is a captivating story with a lesson to share. Recommend for 6th grade and up.
