Regalbop

by Leonard Wasserman

Regalbop is anything but ordinary. With avocado-green skin, a hairless body, and oversized ears, nose, and feet, he stands out in ways he never wanted. When he discovers a mysterious nose in a puddle, he’s unsure if it belongs to him—after all, he’s never seen his reflection. His father hid the only mirror in their home in the attic, warning him never to look into it unless he was in danger.

Enter Pollybip, a young magician-in-training with a knack for trouble. When she witnesses Regalbop losing his extremities, she mistakes it for a magic trick and steals his fallen ears to uncover his secret. But Regalbop’s attempt to retrieve them lands him in jail, accused of being the neighborhood burglar.

With the police on his trail, a daring escape, and a race against time, Regalbop and Pollybip must confront the mystery of the forbidden mirror. Their only way out? Step through its surface into an uncharted world beyond imagination.

A whimsical fantasy adventure filled with magic, mystery, and self-discovery, Regalbop and the Forbidden Mirror is perfect for listeners who love quirky characters, unexpected twists, and enchanting journeys into the unknown.

I read this because my friend ran across it on Pinterest, took a screenshot, and shared it with me. To be honest, I have no idea what I just read, and at the same time, I just kept reading. Something about it kept me reading, even though it wasn't that great.

I see I am the first one to review this book. My daughter saw it on an ad on Pinterest and the funny girl that she is thought she should have me read it. I read it and was telling her I really don’t know what to say about it. Was the writing very good? Not really. Were there holes in the story? Yes. Did it keep me entertained, also yes. Three stars for this short silly book.
