- Book Synopsis
- The first instalment in the thrilling Reckless series, from the bestselling author of Inkheart Jacob has uncovered the doorway to another world, hidden behind a mirror. It is a place of dark magic and enchanted objects, scheming dwarves and fearsome ogres, fairies born from water and men begotten of stone. Here, he hunts for treasure and seeks adventure in the company of Fox - a beautiful, shapeshifting girl, who guides and guards him. But now Jacob's younger brother has followed him into the mirrored world, and all that was freedom has turned to fear. Because a deadly curse has been spoken; and Jacob must risk his life to reverse it, before his brother is turned to stone... Praise for Reckless: 'A haunting story of loyalty, betrayal, magic and danger' Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week 'Magical and full of surprises - find a child to read it to as an excuse, or just indulge' The Lady 'A superb series of books... Intriguing and mesmerising' The School Librarian
