The Girl in the Mirror

By Mickayla Faierstein and Kira Tunin

Vienna, post-WWII. First grade was supposed to save Rosemarie Klepfer. Instead, it makes her smaller, until her father brings home a secondhand vanity mirror, and a girl appears inside.

Fearless and five years older, the mirror girl carries secrets and stories the adults will not tell. She speaks of holidays under the stars, of rituals and traditions, of a way of seeing the world that turns shame into wonder. She helps Rosemarie face grief, discover friendship, and ask questions that only a child could.

But the mirror also holds a deeper truth, one that cannot be spoken until the pieces fall into place. Told first through Rosemarie's eyes and then through her father's voice, this is a story about innocence, memory, and the fear and necessity of finally seeing the truth.
