magic mirrors

After moving to a new house, ten-year-old Abby and her younger brother Jonah discover an antique mirror that transports them into the Snow White fairy tale.

The magic mirror has a crack and it sends Abby, Jonah, and Prince into the mixed up tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and they soon find that Goldy is in need of a lot of gold to get her father out of jail, and so they find themselves negotiating between the Bears, who want honey, and Rumpelstiltskin, who just wants a friend or two--but King Ned is just plain greedy and somehow the children and Goldy's father have to escape from the king's jail, and get back to the portal to return home.

The Ice Princess's magic mirror is broken, one piece is missing, and without it the Enchanted Kingdom is locked in a terrible, unseasonable, heat wave (even the palace is melting); two children, Kara and Zed, are determined to help, but first they must figure out whether the break is the result of the sibling rivalry between the Ice Princess and her sister the Sun Princess--or did the monkey do it?.

"Zach King's life has turned upside down! Since he's finally recovered his magical powers, middle school has never been better for Zach--he's teaming up with his best friend, Aaron, on their super-popular YouTube channel and talking to the prettiest girl in school, Rachel. But when Zach collides with a magical mirror, he lands in a world that is the exact opposite of everything he's ever known. Instead of finding himself at Horace Greeley Middle School, he's at Horace Greeley Magic School. . . In this world of opposites, everyone has magic except him. . . Even worse, while Zach is stuck in this world, his magic-world double, Jak, has swapped places and is getting into all sorts of trouble in Zach's world. Fortunately, Zach can always count on his friends--even the magic-world versions of them. If he can just convince Baron and Raquel about the truth of his world-jumping misadventure, Zach knows they'll be able to figure out how to get him back to his world before it's too late"--Provided by publisher.

Abby and Jonah take a trip through the magic mirror and finally end up in Jack and the beanstalk (which happens to be Jonah's favorite story ever)--but things soon start to go wrong, and the children have to try and set the tale right, even if it means trading their dog, Prince, for the magic beans, climbing the beanstalk (three times!), and reaching an amicable settlement with the giants (Magnus and Philippa, who are really quite nice), and the sneaky trader, Devin, to get their dog back.

Abby is worried because Jonah has the fairy Maryrose's memories mixed up with his own, but when they try to talk to her they get sucked through the mirror and find themselves in the story of The Frog Prince.

Sean, one of the twins, has a reputation as a prankster, but Meri is convinced that the culprits behind the smashed brownies are Gina and Megan, class bullies--so she turns to Dorothy from "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" in her magic mirror for advice on how to confront them.

Abby is feeling slighted by not being chosen festival leader at school, and her brother Jonah thinks that a trip through the magic mirror is just what she needs--but when they find themselves in a strange version of the Princess and the pea, and Abby is tagged as the princess, who will be the next ruler of the Kingdom of Bog (which is very damp and infested with alligators), she is not so much complimented as desperate to find an alternate princess, and get herself and her brother home.

Abby's first problem is that Jonah has lost all his memories of the magic mirror and their adventures, so when they get sucked through into Beauty and the Beast, he is unaware of the danger, and picks one of the Beast's roses--her second problem is locating Beauty and performing a match-making miracle in order to recover her brother, and still make it back to the real world before their parents miss them.

In this trip through the magic mirror, Abby and Jonah find themselves in the tale of Hansel and Gretel, where they have to deal with the witch and hope the portal will open so they can get home.
