This book is beautiful. I always wish when I read translated works that I could read other languages fluently. I'm sure this one is even more beautiful in its original text.

Seven teenagers gain access to a mysterious castle through their mirrors and are told one of them will have a wish granted if they can find the magic key. Each has their own struggles and reason for needing the wish. But they start to learn about and trust one another, which makes everything more complicated.

If you're someone who experiences anxiety, this one will resonate with you. My heart hurts for these lonely kids.
