ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC READING!!,
By
This review is from: The Mirrorstone (Hardcover)
An absolute must for children of all ages! I first read this book when it was first released in 1986! The illustrations are super and the holograms make it just that extra special! I have bought a new copy for my sons, and they have enjoyed it as much as i did 20 years ago!! Buy it and enjoy it!

Good Enjoyable Book,
By Tory - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mirrorstone (Hardcover)
Mirrorstone is a good book that my son & I enjoyed reading. The illustrations are really superb. The story line is good and gripping at times. My son (7 yrs old) liked the book, but I thought that while the story was good, it could've been improved upon and little more thought through.The storyline is about a modern boy who was brought into the past to retrieve the mirrorstone (magical mirror). Without giving too much of the plot, I think that given the basic storyline and the characters created to fullfill that story line, there could've been much more room for character development. But even said all that, I thing that this book is one of the better "non chapter" books for young children. The illustrations are breath-taking (even as adult I enjoyed looking through the book), the holograms are really well done, and the story line, while not very complex, still point certain things out to the children.

Good Book, Wrong Audience,
By B. Wolinsky "Ben's Reviews" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mirrorstone (Hardcover)
The Mirrorstone would have done better as a young-adult novel. I read it when I was 10 and found the story a bit hard to follow, while 8-year-olds had trouble reading the first two pages. The illustrations are spectacular; richly detailed, sophisticated, and obviously well-researched by the illustrator. But I'm not sure if it's worth the effort, because children's books like these aren't going to sell in large numbers. The revenue from the book would never compensate the artist's efforts.If this book were extended and published as a novel, I can see it reaching a wider audience. It's an adventure story about a kid who's brought back in time by an evil magician, based on his ability to swim. This kind of yarn would be a favorite with the Harry Potter crowd, not with grade-schoolers. Unfortunately, today's kids will probably never see this book at all.

Mirrorstone Classic,
By Glenn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mirrorstone (Hardcover)
This book has now become a 'classic'. I was part of the team which created it in 1988 and it still represents the most effective combination of holographics and traditional 2D design. I bought this copy to show friends in China who were amazed at the cleverness of the visuals. It is a fascinating story for all ages.
