1-3Meri's Mirror series.
Illustrated by
Tracy Bishop.
Fourth-grade bookworm Meri Mercer receives an antique magic mirror for her birthday. The mirror lets her talk to characters from her favorite books; those characters offer Meri advice and insight as she navigates friendships and school dramas. Although too easily resolved, Meri's trials and tribulations ring true and will resonate with young chapter-book readers. Occasional black-and-white illustrations match the text's breezy tone. Review covers these Meri's Mirror titles: Facing a Frenemy, Meri Mercer Doesn't Lie, Mostly, Tattletale Traitor, and Terrible Twin Mania.
