The Blue Mirror Kathe Koja Farrar, Straus and Giroux © 2004 |

The Blue Mirror by Kathe Koja is
about a 17-teen year old girl named Maggy She takes care of her
alcoholic mother and spends most of her free time at The Blue Mirror,
a downtown cafe. Maggy's whole world is her sketchbook which she also
calls "The Blue Mirror." But everything changes when she meets Cole, a
rebel runaway.
I thought this was an interesting book,
some parts I enjoyed, but the story was a little too sad for me. The
characters are believable, and I found the plot was well written, but
it depressed me. There is always something bad happening and I started
to pity the characters. I recommend this book for junior high school
readers.
