Book Description:
Alexis Davenport wants to go home. She hates her new school, her mother for moving her away from her friends, and her father for walking out.
To make matters worse, Alex is haunted by images of strange girls reflected in her mirror. It’s bad enough juggling homework, a relentless bully, boys, and a deadbeat dad; now, she must save the world from an evil presence hell-bent on changing the past – and our futures. Who knew her A+ in history was going to be this important?
Excerpt:
Alex finished quickly and hurried
to wash her hands. She gazed at her reflection in the mirror. A blue scrunchy
encircled her brownish-blond hair. Small tendrils had come free and framed her
square face. Her hazel eyes were bloodshot. She had foregone make-up that
morning and her face looked pale. Her father had always teased her about her
plain features as well as her lack of a womanly figure.
When Alex would retreat to her
room in tears after yet another of Gary’s remarks about her looks, her mother
would smooth her hair and say that her father had been kidding, that he really
didn’t mean anything by the teasing. She would promise to talk to him and try
to get him to stop.
Alex closed her eyes, hating that
her mind was dredging up these awful memories.
She finished washing her hands
and looked back up at her reflection. Suddenly, the image in the mirror shifted. Alex was no longer looking at
her own face.
The strange girl had dark hair in
disarray around a very dirty face. Instead of hazel eyes, the girl in the
mirror had bright blue eyes and they were as wide as they could possibly go.
The reflection looked strange. It
wavered and moved. Like water.
Alex jumped as the door to the
restroom opened. A little old lady entered and gave her a suspicious side-ways
glance. Alex turned back to the mirror and found her own face in the
reflection, her eyes wide and her face as white as a sheet.
I did not just see that other face in the mirror.
