“Ever since Jacob Reckless was a child, he has been escaping to a hidden world through a portal in his father’s abandoned study. Here is the book jacket synopsis for Reckless (I’m not including the summary for Fearless because it kind of spoils the ending for book 1): I bought it on a recent book buying binge, and decided to re-read Reckless before tackling the sequel (and it’s a good thing I did!). The second book in the Mirrorworld series, Fearless, came out earlier this year. I read it right away, and while I forgot most of the plot until re-reading it this week, the one thought that stayed with me was “This is NOT a children’s book.” Three or so years ago, Reckless came out. I read it when I was 12, and I’ve been a fan of her work ever since (though apparently it was only published in English in 2002, but had been out in German since the late 90’s!). Cornelia Funke’s The Thief Lord is one of the best children’s books from the early 2000’s.
