About this title

From School Library Journal:

Gr 3–5—At first glance, this offering resembles a typical Disney cartoon. The style of illustration and the colors are traditional. Beautifully detailed backgrounds make readers feel like they're part of the action. The plot, however, is another matter. This mildly spooky ghost story revolves around a haunted mirror. Somehow Minnie and Mickey end up with the trinket, and Mickey tries to get it back where it belongs, encountering alternate dimensions and odd characters that help and hinder him. The writing is disjointed, making the plot hard to follow. Dialogue is stiff and awkward at times. Bonus material, such as a comic short featuring Pipwolf, a character from the book, and a preview of a Disney Fairies graphic novel, is enjoyable. VERDICT Die-hard Disney fans will likely look beyond the poorly executed writing, but this volume will likely not draw in many new readers.—Carol Hirsche, Barnett Elementary, Payson, UT
