"Cat in the Mirror" by Mary Stolz, while not one of the most intellectually challenging books in the world, a captivating book that will keep you wondering all the same. As the young girl goes from modern times to ancient egypt Mrs. Stolz plays with your mind making you wonder. Is she really in ancient egypt? Is she experience memories of a past life? Why is the hot new guy in school also in ancient egypt? Then, as all great writers do, the last line of the book leaves you craving more!
Erin lives in modern NYC, attends a wealth private school, and is studying ancient Egypt when she accidentally hits her head in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is transported back in time, becoming Irun. Too childish for me, but I liked the cat, Ta-She.
