Tami, with her sister, Wonu, has to spend her school vacation in the village, and she is not pleased! Compared to Lagos, the village is quiet and boring, nothing exciting could possibly happen there.
She is wrong.
The dark hut at the back of their grandmother’s house has always fascinated Tami. She is about to discover, within its walls, a riddle waiting to be solved… a riddle tied to a mysterious mirror. Racing against time, Tami must solve this riddle or lose someone she holds dear forever.
Ishola Ubaydah –
So first off, one thing I really like about the story is the “Originality” of it.
Cause it was so amazing for me due to the fact that the title in itself a borrowed phrase from a story we all know! Like when the book got delivered to me for example, I was with a friend and immediately she grabbed it and opened it. She was like: “Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who’s the fairest of them all?”
So to be able to make it yours despite that is just amazing!
Secondly, the wow factor for me is the intrigue. Like you have that (I see it a lot of in your write ups). So even from the very first chapter of the missing girl I was intrigued!
And then the way it all unfolded. I swear I was surprised to find out it was Oyinkan in the mirror! I really didn’t see that coming.
Then again, lessons were learnt definitely. That’s key for me. I like when I read a book, and I’m able to say yes, this is what I learned from it. So I give you that credit too!
