This is the first novel which features the Equestria Girls. The book begins with Princess Twilight Sparkle, whose crown is stolen by Sunset Shimmer. She needs to go through a magic mirror into an alternate world, where she becomes a teenage girl and Spike, who follows her, becomes a dog.
Twilight finds herself at Canterlot High School, where she needs to be crowned princess of the Fall Formal, regain her crown and make it back to Equestria. Of course, there is lots of fun in Twilight working out how to walk on two legs and discover the use of her hands – while she finds that the new friends she makes remind her of those she used to have…
This is not great literature by any means, but it engrossed my eight year old daughter who devoured it over a weekend. With 18 chapters, nearly 200 pages and only a few line drawings, this is very much for more confident readers and probably best for 7+ children, moving on to longer chapter books.
The end of the book has some nice little extras to encourage writing; such as listing yummy drinks you might serve up and writing what friendship means to you. The next Equestria adventure is, “Rainbow Rocks,” and my little girl is very eager to read it. Anything which encourages reading is to be encouraged and so I am really happy for her to read this fun series – she loves anything related to My Little Pony and Equestria Girls and I think I will get her the DVD’s after she has read the books.

Z tej książki zamiast magii przyjaźni wyniosłam, że miło jest być miłym i nie można ufać rudym.

I really liked this book... although it was obviously different from the movie. I enjoyed seeing different perspectives throughout the whole book. I especially liked the Flash Sentry and Twilight scenes... *giggles*
Call me weird, but I think I like little kid books. :P

How do I read it?!?!?!
June 28, 2025
There is a certain kind of magic when you watch this show. Many may deem it childish and trivial, almost unsophisticated. Yet time and again, I find myself experiencing masterful storytelling, spun with mind-changing virtues and lessons that brings me and I know many others determination and hope for the world. My Little Pony is truly enchanting, and those of us who find delight in a wondrous world of an imaginative realm can perhaps find the same solace in Equestria…
Of course, personally I prefer the series over the movies. But if it involves the Mane Six, I’m down for it! And of course the music! The Legend of Everfree is a must. Another prime reason for reading this, my friend gifted me this series almost two years ago for my birthday and I indeed treasure it very much. Which is why I finally decided to take a closer look at this book, with not less of a critical eye than others. Fair warning that I don’t entirely think this matches the series, but as a fan I wanted to explore this controversial edition through my favorite form, books!
///
As I’ve said before, one of the main reasons for watching Equestria Girls for me is the music. I haven’t given it much thought, but imagine my surprise (and some disappointment) when I found out that the songs have been cut out! Perhaps because bursting into a song isn’t realistic enough, but I don’t mind at all. Especially with all the other pretty unrealistic things that have happened (which were changed from the original! Trust me, I pretty much memorized everything, haha.) Two scenes didn’t flow well due to the cut out of the song; the cafeteria scene, uniting everybody—which was okay but felt too easy and very unnatural—and the scene where the six friends get other people to decorate the gym. One of the trademarks and of course something that allows me to daydream is how accepting the ponies/people are in this franchise. But especially in a school, where the change from judgmental to unrealistically kind felt very off. The author’s writing was also rushed to that point, and I was dumbfounded because people rushed in to help; but where did they even come from?
Speaking of writing, there were a lot of “fallacies” that I could understand as it was targeted towards very young readers, but some parts threw me off a lot because I knew the characters would not react that way. Also Rainbow and Rarity were constantly exchanging eye contacts which felt straight up mean and super unlikely.
Something I also wished the author would do is speed things up in the beginning. The first 120 pages were pretty much very slow and couldn’t really keep me reading. The last few pages felt rushed, but hey, at least I was engaged!
But of course, what really matters is the story. And the world was immersive and amazing to be in. Their friendship is inspiring as always, and I only hope to befriend them too, haha! I loved spending time with all of them, and it wasn’t a bad use of time at all. Even though the writing had its fallacies, novels also allowed more inner thoughts from Twilight and we could really get to know her.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from my favorite scenes!
“‘Of course you lost. I’m awesome.’ Rainbow smirked, hands on hips. ‘But I’m not gonna help just anybody. The Fall Formal princess should be someone with heart and determination. And you, Twilight, just proved you’ve got ‘em both!’”
(This was a very smart choice! Loved it in the book and movie.)
‘“Sunset Shimmer is the one who divided us. Twilight Sparkle is the one who united us. And we’re going to let everybody know it!’”
(Said by Rarity)
“‘Twilight, these girls rallied around you because they saw what was in your heart…They aren’t going to feel any different about you when they find out you’re a pony princess in Equestria.’”
(Said by Spike. I just loved getting to see him in puppy form; it was really nice having him as company!)
And, of course, the last scene! The Magic of Friendship, and a satisfying conclusion!
Though the writing wasn’t the best, the world and characters remained enchanting. I think this book isn’t as deep as it usually is in movies and in the main show, but I’m glad to finally have read this!

‘The magic contained in my Element was able to unite with those that helped create it. The same Elements that exist in Equestria can be found in this world—Honest, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, and Loyalty…The crown may be upon your head, Sunset Shimmer, but you cannot wield it, because you do not possess the most powerful magic of all—the Magic of Friendship. It is the only magic that can truly unite us all.'

So, my journey to becoming an honorary Bronie continues!
This is another 'bedtime book' for me and my littlest daughter and, this time (just this once!), I actually found myself intrigued.
Obviously, I am now well versed with the core characters (and can even effect their accents/manners, for reading to my 6 year old), and the general storyline (my understanding of the MLP universe essentially starts *after* Twilight Sparkle gets her wings (literally!) and her role as princess - I assume this is like season 2 or 3 of the show (there is a show, right?), so imagine my surprise when there is a spin-off series where the ponies are all human school girls!
This book is the first in that series and it was only after a few chapters that my daughter preternaturally informs me of what is going to happen next - turns out this is a show as well (or feature length TV movies - maybe I should look this up, so I know what I'm talking about).
And, it also turns out that it's IN CONTINUITY! Now, the Doctor WHo enthusiast in me likes a good mystery about how something fits into a continuos running narrative, or timeline, so my interest was picqued.
What we have is a fairly standard/decent 'need to make it to the dance' kind of story, that I can totally imagine as a 90 minute movie. The adventure part was met by having Twilight Sparkle - a pony - need to rescue the Eye of Harmony (or is that Doctor Who?) from another pony who disappears through a mirror portal,only, not only is a portal to another reality, but it also turns you into a native animal.
Twilight learning how to walk as a human, and use hands, etc, is actually quite good and engaging, and it wa snice to see a sub-plot of her trying to get 'her friends' (who are currently not friends) to become friends agai, as well as win back her tiara by winning getting votesd as the princes at the end of year party thingy. She even gets to getthe hots for a local boy (who is a human! Obviously, if you are a pony who gets transmogrified into a human, you start fancying humans too - I'm not sure if that is correct or not - your biology would demand it, right? Or would your history - of being a horse - stop all that business? I dunno, I'm sure there's an essay online about that somewhere).
So, yeah, it all happens in quick succession, really, seemingly over a few days (or even a week!). We have a villain too, so there is a 'race against time' element too.
Now, I appreciate that it may well be my ignorance of the LMP universe, but I don't really get why the tiara is important. I guess it kind of keeps the magic of happiness and friendship together in pony-land? DOes that mean all the ponies are a bit bitchy and unplesant naturally and meed magic to keep theri attitudes in check?I don't know, really. And why does Sunset Shimmer want it for herself? And why in another reality? I don't really know that either. Did she know what was going to happen to her once she put the crown on, or did she think something else was going to happen?
What I also don't recall is whether Sunset Shimmer is a girl who travelled to pont-land, or a pony who ran away to teen-pony-girl-land. It doesn't really matter, I guess, but I just wondered.
Anyway, she seems to be pretty repentant by the end of it, even though she must have been planning this (bitterly, and incessantly) for months and months, so that's okay.
It didbother me a little by how much Twilight ramped up her popularity so swiftly inbefore the dance. She was a total stranger (even though the Principal didn't even care thatthere was a new girl in school that literally no-one knew wasn't from there), and before the weke was out she wa spoplar enough to win the title of Princess of the dance (or whatever). But, hey, I feel like a bit of a d**k picking apart a book meant for 6 year olds, and she wasn't bothered, so I guess it's all cool!
One thing that did interest me was the whereabouts of the original human Twilight SParkle.
Was she dead? Did she just live somewhere else? If the latter, what were the chances of the counterparts of *all* her friends being there, but not her own counterpart?
What if Rainbow Dash had gone through the portal instead would she have come face to face with her own alter ego (and literally have an adventure devoid of Twilight Sparkle)? Or is this reality a bit like the Matrix, and made to fit around whoever went through?
So, I suppose there will be many more sleepless nights over that conundrum!
Anyway, jokes aside, it was more engagin than the last few MLP books I read, as much like the movie prequel, there was an actual plot where disaster was iminent if something wasn't done (I mean, terrible disaster, not 'disappointing occurence').
I gave Ffion the option of she wanted to read next (encouraging a non-MLP book perhaps, rather than a fifth MLP book in a row... so the next thing we read will feature my favourite pony - Rainbow Dash!

"Equestria Girls: Through the Mirror" is the novelization of a straight to television movie based off the show "My Little Pony". I only read this and several other my little pony books because I've been waiting for my latest Robin Hood book to come in at my book store and my little sister happened to have these lying around.
the few actually reviews available made it sound like it would alright.
Once again, Goodreads, you have failed me.
The movie itself was pretty awful, but this was just . . . .yuck! while the other pony books were cute ( and I absolutely LOVE the show) this was shit. At times it was NOT true to the scenes- like the battle scene. that was supposed to take place outside and blast the front of the school apart. it was not in the gym! maybe they were trying to dumb down the very limited violence of the story, but it was just plain annoying. Novelizations need to stay true to the story! this didn't. then there's the descriptions. ugh. just. . . .yeah, just ugh. I get that it's for kids but, come on! put some damned effort into it! The transition between scenes wasn't well written. At times, I had to go back an reread parts just to understand how it had jumped between twilight's point of view to Sunset Simmer being a total jerk.
Which brings me to my list of things I hate from this crap fest of a book:
1. Sunset Shimmer, our "evil" antagonist. No. there was no point to her. never one single mention of her in the show until this movie/book. you'd think that the Princess would've mentioned a former favorite student before now. Sunset exists solely as a point device. She is an evil, bitchy baddie simply for the sake of being evil and bitchy. And her total 180' in the end? real shitty. good bad guys don't spin around and instantly apologize to everyone just because they get blasted with a magic rainbow. (UGH! more on that in a second)
2. Spike/Rarity. OH MY FUCKING GOD NO!!!!!!! bestiality is never ok. this was cute as pony and a dragon because they live in a magical world made up completely of magical, intelligent talking creatures. Not cool when its a dog with crush on a human girl. pretty sickening if you ask me.
3. the "mane 6" as teenage girls at school. again, I don't know if I can say it enough, UGH! this is just ridiculous. if this is an alternate world were everypony has an identical human counterpart, this can't work. shouldn't the human versions of the ponies be young adults like the wonderful ponies they're based off of? and they just seemed stupidly pointless. these "equestria girls" were flat cardboard fakes of their pony selves existing only as a easy plot advancers to help twilight along in her quest to retrieve her element. (And what about the human twilight? where was she? was there really a twilight who had moved? what if they'd run into each other?)
4. the target audience of this book is little girls in elementary school. little girls care about sparkles and unicorns and fairy princesses and cute crap like that. NOT HIGH SCHOOL!
5. and the crown jewel on this piece of crap: The Magic of Friendship. Now, I can totally by that this magic, and that representatives of the Elements of Harmony also exist in the human world. but in my mind - an apparently in the minds of most authors and writers - magic is a bit like science and physics. it has rules, limitation, boundaries. The elements of harmony should be no exception, even in a parallel universe with people. The same principles they work under in Equestria need to apply to them here. The Elements only work when all six bearers are present, their true selves, and are wearing the necklaces and crown that hold the powers. that was why they couldn't just blast the crap out of discord when the ponies first faced him. (remember that episode? that would've been a much better reason for twilight to become a princess)
these rules were basically tossed right out the window in this "book".
There is no plausible way for Twilight and gang to defeat Sunset without the rest of the Elements being present. this would have made for a pretty interesting problem during the big final battle scene. nope. the "mechanism of the gods" shit was pulled in the end. Twilight gave some lame pep talk about how Equestria would survive without the bearer and crown of the Element of Magic and the girls do this whole winx club/sailor moon transformation and they blast a rainbow at Sunset Shimmer and she's defeated. no, equestria could not have survived without it. that was the whole reason you when to get it.
and on top of all this, even if there was some pitiful excuse about them being in a different world so the element could be used definitely there, The element of Magic should never have worked for Sunset Shimmer. she's not the bearer. the element of magic is good magic. it can't be used for evil so her going all dragony because of it was about as low as the story crashed.
Rules that have already been set down for 3 seasons should NOT be changed just because it suits your crappy straight to tv movie plot!
if I could rate this negative 5000 I would. and I would not recommend it to anyone. on even a little kid. just stick to the tv show. so much better.

My little pony (Mi pequeño pony en español):Equestria Girls es un libro adaptado del guión de la película "Equestria Girls", una película que me gusta bastante a pesar de mi edad y que disfruto de cantarla todo el tiempo.
La historia nos cuenta como Twilight ha sido coronada (supongo en la serie, pero no la veo) y ahora está visitando el reino de su hermano para poder aprender cosas nuevas sobre ser una princesa. Una noche, una ponie que no se conoce hasta ahora, aparece y roba la corona de Twilight y justo cuando está a punto de tenerla de vuelta esta cae en un espejo y desaparece, Sunset se va por el mismo lugar y ahora será trabajo de esta nueva princesita el recuperarla antes de que suceda lo peor, pero al otro lado le esperan seres que no conoce. Ahora solo le queda trabajar, entender el nuevo mundo y evitar que Sunset logre su cometido; ¿podrá hacerlo o fallará en el intento?
El libro si bien es una adaptación tiene uno que otro pequeño detalle diferente a su versión animada, pero son mínimos. Vi la película mientras lo leía, pausando en cada dialogo, me gusta mucho el sonido de sus voces y me pareció una buena idea, ya que me sé de memoria muchas partes. Obvio las situaciones en donde cantan son completamente diferentes en su versión escrita, pero eso no evitó que igual me gustara el libro.
Datos curiosos: Mi personaje favorito de toda la saga "Equestria Girls" es la villana de esta historia, Sunset Shimmer. En mi librero tengo figuras de todas las protagonistas y de las villanas de la primera y segunda entrega.

Voy a estar participando del #BookTubeAThon y como tengo todos los libros de Equestria Girls pendiente, y últimamente me han entrado ganas de leer middle grade, pues me ha parecido una buena opción para iniciar la semana.
El libro me ha gustado, tiene escenas diferentes con respecto a la película y también cuenta como surgió el nombre de Equestria Girls, pero aun así, sigo prefiriendo la película.
Es una buena lectura, y más si eres fans. Tiene una prosa sencilla, así que es ideal para leer en inglés, y los capítulos son súper cortitos.

Twilight has her crown stolen from a mean girl from another dimension hidden in a mirror. She has to enter this dimension and confront the mean girl and try to get it back, she has 3 days todo it or she will be trapped in the dimension while her real world will be turned upside down without the harmony magic her crown lends.
This is a great story to share with young readers or those that are starting to read chapter books. It also has some lessons to teach young readers.
My Grand daughter loves the ponies.

In this book, Twilight Sparkle's crown was stolen by Sunset Shimmer and she had to go through the mirror. Spike turns into a dog and Twilight turns into a high school girl. She finds it hard to fit in a world where there's human beings, e-mails, phones, computers and other things she never found in her world where she was a pony. She also gets to be the Princess of the Fall Formal and gets her Element of Harmony of magic back.

I just finished this in an hour approximately, and I knew everything going in because I watched the movie a thousand times already haha. I bought this a long time ago but I never read it. It definitely a different experience from watching the movie and I don't know why. Everything is kind of the same but it felt different and I like it!

I enjoyed this book, but I didn’t love it. The author (Little. Brown) did a good job writing the book based off the movie, but I wasn’t so sure about the no illustrations in this book. I did enjoy where she put the lyrics from the movie in the book though, along with the little activity area at the end.

I really enjoyed reading this book with my children. They love the show and enjoyed listening to me read the book to them. The Magic of Friendship, is a wonderful message. I loved the characteristics of each girl and how they work together.

My daughter loves anything My Little Pony. This book was perfect for our bedtime book and followed along with the movie. I can't wait until she gets older and is able to read it on her own.
