I came here, because I remembered seeing it on your stack at KidlitCon, and you wrote this: <br /><br /><i>Jacob might be 24 on paper, but the young man in the mirror world is more an avatar of oldness exploring a fantasy world than a convincing adult--his character is still very much that of the reckless adolescent, confused by his emotional responses to the questions posed by growing up.</i><br /><br />Ah. Makes so much more sense. And I agree: it needs a much more hopeful ending, although I guess this is a first in a series thing?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217383813263874657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-54660027166069571612010-10-29T15:55:26.660-05:002010-10-29T15:55:26.660-05:00I just finished the book about a week ago.

I did love how Jacob's brother turned to stone. I thought that was so unique.
