Synopsis

It all began the day Chrissie Scott looked into the mirror and saw somebody else's reflection. A boy who looked exactly like her. Nothing would ever be the same again...

Suddenly Twins!

Chrissie thought she had troubles -- until she fell through the mirror into her double's life. He said his name was Chris, and his world was the mirror image of hers. His world was ruled by magic -- and about to be destroyed by the sorceress Lori Lee!

Chris is desperate. He has cast a powerful spell and sees the evil plot. Chrissie is the only one he can trust. Together they must save his world before it's too late. But is Chrissie about to be lost forever in the universe beyond the mirror?

About this title

From School Library Journal

Gr 4-6-This first in a series introduces Chrissie Scott and her mirror twin, Chris Scott. Chris, from his world of magic, contacts Chrissie, from this world, through his bathroom mirror because he needs her help. He has uncovered an evil plot by the powerful witch Lori Lee to dominate the world by controlling all of the elements-fire, earth, wind, and water and thus controlling all magic. Through their struggles with the evil woman and her animal accomplices, the youngsters gain self-confidence. Their miniature dragon and fire drake magical partners, who help with magic spells and make humorous comments, add comic relief. In the end, the villain is defeated and falls into limbo but resurfaces as Larry Lee in Chrissie's world in the preview chapter to the next installment. Readers who enjoy light fantasy will keep reading.
