Reckless by Cornelia Funke, 394 pages.
Jacob Reckless discovers the special mirror in his father's study several years after the older man has disappeared. Jacob knows at once that the world he can see through the mirror is the one into which his father has gone.
Jacob spends more and more time on the other side of the mirror, looking for his father, and exploring this strange place of fairies, witches, and stone men. Magical oAfter Jacob's mother dies and his younger brother discovers this land, Jacob must decide between the two worlds, and use all the skills that he has mastered to save what he holds dear. A grim and scary tale, very well-told.
I listened to about half of this on CD, and read the rest. Elliot Hill does a great job on the narration. This is the first of the "Mirrorworld" books. Fearless, the second volume, came out last year. I look forward to reading it.
