After receiving an antique mirror from her mother, already-vain Sukie finds herself caught in an isolating world of self-obsession. Discovering a devastating family secret helps her realize that a narcissistic life is not what she needs. Sukie, initially unsympathetic, becomes more likable as the story goes on, leading to a heartfelt ending.

Illustrated by
Chad W. Beckerman.
After her father's death, fifteen-year-old Frannie finds in his house a box with her name on it and a handmade puzzle inside. The discovery that she can magically enter into the puzzle leads her to find her father. Unexpected fantasy elements are jarring; the plot is at its best in Frannie's real life. Sketches decorate some pages.
