About this title

About the Author:

Cornelia Funke is a multiple award-winning German author, best known for writing the Inkworld trilogy as well as The Thief Lord. The Inkworld books, which have won the 2003 Mildred L. Batchelder Award as well as the 2004 and 2006 BookSense Book of the Year Children's Literature Awards, have gained incredible attention and Funke has been dubbed the "German J.K. Rowling."

From AudioFile:

Twenty-something Jacob Reckless, the hero of Funke's latest fairy tale-inspired adventure, is on his greatest quest ever--saving his brother from turning into a goyl, a man made of stone. Narrating newcomer Elliot Hill provides a strong reading that is well suited to the characters of Mirrorworld, the alternate universe Reckless finds himself in after he puts his hand into the magical mirror in his father's study. Hill's acting expertise is clearly demonstrated as he gives voice to the characters of the fairy-tale world--from the oily voice of a double-crossing dwarf to the hushed tones of the fairies as they try to lull the listener into their spell. Hill's soothing cadence makes the adventure seem even more real. An enticing start to this new series. E.N. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
