"Reflections" is titled perfectly. This entire book is based on how reflections of different scenery can be viewed in two totally different ways. I went through this book turning it upside down for every spread. I enjoyed being able to see different takes on pictures that I thought I could only see one image in. Children would love this book and it would be great for any art lesson. ( )

magical, flipover and read back through and the illustrations have CHANGED ( )

Great Unique Book, love the pictures and nice story line about nature and the life at the sea. ( )

This book just kept getting better and better.

This story was unlike anything I've ever read. On the contrary, the story made me think of Cinderella, but a spin-off of the consequences the 'stepsister' had to face. It also made me think of 'the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe'; not the story but the phrase itself. However, in this case, the phrase would be: the lion, the witch, the unicorn, the beran, the centaur, and the mirror. Give or take on the lion.

This was such a fantastical read filled with magic, love, loyalty, and friendship. Everything from beginning to end flowed perfectly. It started off great, but who would've thought this page turner would lead to something even greater?

Some say they drown in an author's book. It sounds to me to be a bit smothering. Like things were layered on the reader pretty thick. I, on the other hand, will feed this author, not verbatim, the same meaning of the compliment, however, this book is not something a reader can drown in, but float through. Don't get me wrong, my attention was 100% solely into the story, but reading the whole book made me feel light as a feather, as if reading with utmost care would not harm the creator's writing and plot. I guess this is what fantasy does to a reader. I feel that my reading experience is equivalent to being light-headed; cloud 9.

The characters were extremely well developed, each wore their own persona like a second skin. I found the main character's evolving truly fascinating to read about and to have a vivid picture as to how everything looked and unfolded was all thanks to the author's great attention to detail.

The moral of the story is..well. It could be depicted into anything really, there was a lot of things that held consequences that needed to be accounted for and many lessons the needed to be learnt.

Overall, I believe the author's wonderful ideas and creative imagination easily reverberated into this book. I highly recommend this to anybody and everybody really. Well just as long as your reading level is up to par, then I cannot see why not. ( )
