We’ve all wanted to open that wardrobe door and escape into Narnia haven’t we? Well I certainly have!

Disappearing into another world that is built so beautifully, it doesn’t matter that it’s not real because it feels that it is with each page we turn.

A J Hartley has created his very own Narnia with Mirrors, that will leave you glancing at every mirror pass, looking from the corner of your eye, hoping to see something different.

We follow Darwen, who feels trapped between two worlds already, as he discovers another filled with monsters you’ll just love to add to your imagination, from Flittercakes to the Scrobblers, these new creatures and their world will have you wishing you could stay in their adventure forever. Darwen learns to navigate this new world while trying to adjust to a new life, in a new place, in a school he’d rather not attend. But as the story unfolds and he makes some unlikely friends, he realises his new life may hold more for him than he could have ever imagined.

Beautifully created and complimented with eye catching illustrations and designs, this is ideal for any fantasy lovers craving something new and fresh, but still with that classic fantasy feel.

Leaving you itching for the next instalment so you can divide back in!

Just be careful you don’t try and divide into your nearest mirror afterwards and bump your head.

Dark and entertaining, but not too dark. Monsters In the Mirror has the perfect balance, exploring friendship, identity and imagination to its fullest!
