Darwen Arkwright and the Peregrine Pact

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Emily Osborne. A Lancashire boy transplanted to Georgia after his parents' deaths, Darwen acquires a mirror from mysterious Mr. Peregrine that allows him to travel to the fantasy world of Silbrica. Trouble there seems connected somehow to trouble in Darwen's new private school. Although the novel's emotional events are either underdeveloped or overdramatic, the plot is still imaginative enough to attract readers.
