Reckless by Cornelia Funke

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Reckless, by Cornelia Funke, follows her tradition of great story telling. Although not quite as entertaining as the Inkheart trilogy, it is still a good story. Jacob, the main character has been going to Mirrorworld through the mirror in his father's study after his father's disappearance. This Mirrorworld is a world of magic, secrets and strange adventures. When his younger brother Will follows him through the mirror with his girlfriend Clara, Will gets an adventure that he hasn't bargained for. He is through fairy magic turned into a goyl. Goyls are men that are made of stone--not only on the outside, but inside they are hardened as well. Jacob, his friend Fox, and Clara go to heroic measures to save him. The adventures are exciting, but the characters are not as believable as they are in other Funke novels. Still a fun middle school read.
