Beyond the Reflection's Edge Review
Check out this book by Bryan Davis that I got the privilege to pre-read. It's amazing!
Here's a description from Amazon.com:
Sixteen-year-old Nathan Shepherd has a great life traveling where the careers of his father, an investigator, and mother, a renowned violinist, take him until his parents are found murdered. Left with only a mirror and notes from his fathers last case, Nathan goes into hiding at the remote country home of Tony, his fathers college buddy, and Tony's teenage daughter, Kelly. The mysterious mirror must be a clue to what happened to his parents, and when images appear in it, people and things that dont exist, Nathan and Kelly painstakingly gather evidence. But the killers want the mirror too, and danger threatens the teens at every turn. As it becomes evident that Nathan's father had stumbled upon dark forces at work in the world, several questions arise. Could it be that the mirror is a portal to a parallel world? Could this technology be used for evil purposes? And could his parents still be alive, trapped in another dimension? Nathan and Kelly struggle to solve the mystery before they too become victims. This chilling, hair-raising adventure is jam-packed with action in a fantastical world where nothing is as it seems, and even mirrors tell lies.
My official review:
Bryan Davis has done it again! Beyond the Refection’s Edge is an incredible tale of fantasy and adventure filled with action, suspense, humor, and the power of love. I loved the captivating way the author blends in music with the story and the mirrors and different dimensions were enchanting. The vivid characters kept me rooting for more and I felt as I was in the story beside Nathan, Kelly, and his parents. It kept me on the edge of my seat until I turned the last page. This is one book that you will not want to miss! I can’t wait to see what other mysteries Bryan Davis has in store during the rest of the series. I recommend it to all teens. 5 stars!

So, I really miss Acting...I hoping hoping hoping praying praying praying hoping to get into Shakespeare in the fall. And take Shakespeare literature and life at Normandale next fall. Then I'll be ready for the Taming of the Shrew in the spring!!! w00000t! :D
I'm really bored right now. I'm supposed to be doing Geometry but I'm stuck so it's hard to concentrate. My cat and I went on a photo shoot today in my room. It took, like, 2 hours. I was experimenting with the lighting on my camera. =P I'll post some later....
