Book Description
Stella, the little princess of the Village of the Mirror, disappeared years ago. The only hope for the end of her parents' tears is the water spring in the woods and its mysterious message that no one really understands. One day a little gypsy girl appears, tender and bewildered, with two carefree pigtails and a milky-coffee mark on her cheek. She is the only one with the special gift of being able to speak to the spring. In the magic of its reflections, she comes to know Princess Stella who speaks of the coming of a red star. The people in the village make fun of the little gypsy, but she has Patapa, the local madman who holds a surprising gift of wisdom in a box that everyone thinks is empty. Then there is Nini, a true friend who loves to fire at the leaves with his slingshot and run in the Field of Wonders. There is also the elderly Hale, who understands the appeal and the danger of the spring and knows that it hides a secret for each of us. Read "The little girl behind the mirror" and you will receive a SPECIAL GIFT FROM THE AUTHOR! Do you want to see YOUR DRAWING PUBLISHED IN THE BOOK "The little girl behind the mirror"?

REVIEWS extracts (from the Italian edition): A simple, clean prose where extreme care is associated with simplicity. The language, always suited to the world of the small village that the author has created, succeeds in conveying the sense of a rhythm of life that is now alien to us. Tatiana Azzola, writer Sweetness, simplicity, a bit of magic and madness. Close your eyes, smile and dream... Alessia Guglielmi Extremely evocative landscapes, described with great inventiveness. A well-built story to be fully received by the children, and endowed with that pinch of suspense to be appreciated by an adult reader. The concepts of love and tolerance are passed on to the little ones with delicate elegance, making also the adults reflect on the value of the simple joys and sincere friendship, in opposition to the hypocrisy and the pettiness of the surrounding reality. Natascia Tiso, University Professor An experience with the taste of another time, a regretted and sometimes forgotten time. Flavia Gatto A book that is magic, that is a fairy tale, a book where one cultivates his dreams, where there are chocolate candies, a sort of wonderland where the reader can come back as a child. Debora Libardi, book blogger A bond between fantasy and reality that takes you into a distant world yet so close. Paola Baldan A book that is not just words but becomes pictures and emotions, it envelops you and accompanies you. Laura Canneti

Pages : 255
Book Description
A thrilling gothic horror novel about biracial twin sisters separated at birth, perfect for fans of Lovecraft Country and The Vanishing Half As infants, twin sisters Charlie Yates and Magnolia Heathwood were secretly separated after the brutal lynching of their parents, who died for loving across the color line. Now, at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, Charlie is a young Black organizer in Harlem, while white-passing Magnolia is the heiress to a cotton plantation in rural Georgia. Magnolia knows nothing of her racial heritage, but secrets are hard to keep in a town haunted by the ghosts of its slave-holding past. When Magnolia finally learns the truth, her reflection mysteriously disappears from mirrors—the sign of a terrible curse. Meanwhile, in Harlem, Charlie's beloved grandmother falls ill. Her final wish is to be buried back home in Georgia—and, unbeknownst to Charlie, to see her long-lost granddaughter, Magnolia Heathwood, one last time. So Charlie travels into the Deep South, confronting the land of her worst nightmares—and Jim Crow segregation. The sisters reunite as teenagers in the deeply haunted town of Eureka, Georgia, where ghosts linger centuries after their time and dangers lurk behind every mirror. They couldn’t be more different, but they will need each other to put the hauntings of the past to rest, to break the mirrors’ deadly curse—and to discover the meaning of sisterhood in a racially divided land.

Although the closet was dark and damp, it was a safe haven for the little girl hiding inside. 'Do you hear God's wrath, girl?' the monster raved. 'He's punishing you for not doing as you're told.' Liz covered her ears, trying to block out the screams coming from the other side of the closet door as lightning shrieked and thunder roared through the mountains surrounding the old farmhouse. In Child in the Mirror, Liz is torn between the excitement of a fresh start in the 'Big City' and an ever-present black cloud looming overhead. Desperately she tries to fit in, but her imagination is relentless, playing tricks with her mind until she finally contemplates the possibility of going insane. The reader is exposed to the scars of an abusive childhood, a little girl's cry for help, and a young couple's desperate attempt to save their newborn son. Join Liz on her journey into a world of black flowing gowns, rosary beads, and crisp white habits.
