The Magic Half

by Annie Barrows

Eleven-year-old Mira has always felt lonely in her unusual family of double twins. Until one day in her new bedroom, Miri looks through a piece of glass. She is magically transported to another time, 1935, where she meets a young girl so much like herself she could be her twin. Miri must now figure out not only how to get home, but how to return to the past and bring Molly back to the future with her. Barrow creates realistic characters in a swiftly moving plot. She deftly handles the issue of time-travel by way of magic, thus side-stepping the need for logic.

5 of 5 Stars - Highly Recommended.
