Item Description

Win a copy of MIRROR TO MIRROR and a 30 minutes Ask Me Anything session with author, Rajani LaRocca! Learn the ins and outs about writing and publishing!

Mirror to Mirror: How can two people have the exact same genes, but be so different inside? Maya thinks of herself as part of a matched set—she and her identical twin, Chaya, have always been in sync. But when Chaya threatens to reveal Maya's secret anxieties to their parents, Maya feels betrayed. Chaya is the more outgoing twin, but now sheÂ’s worried about her sister. With Maya shutting her out, Chaya tries to give her twin space by changing herself. Suddenly, theyÂ’re no longer identical—they have different looks, different activities, different friends. But both of them are miserable. So they make a bet: they'll switch places, and whoever can keep up the ruse the longest will decide where they both go to high school. But stepping into each other's shoes is a lot trickier than it seems. Will the twins be able to build a bridge back to each other?
