Mirror Magic
Zach King, the award-winning social media superstar with nearly 25 MILLION fans, is back with the third and final magical installment in his hilarious, fun-filled trilogy about Zach, a seventh grader trying to control his new magical powers. Features color graphic novel sections and an augmented reality app that brings the illustrations to three-dimensional life! BIG NATE meets DANTDM in the third magical middle grade adventure by social media superstar Zach King. Since Zach finally recovered his magical powers, middle school has never been better—he’s teaming up with his best friend, Aaron, on their super-popular YouTube channel and talking to the nicest, smartest, prettiest girl in school, Rachel. But when Zach magically “passes through” 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. And in this world of opposites, everyone here has magic except him. Even worse, Zach is stuck in this world AND his alter-ego, the newly magical Jack, has passed in to Zach’s world and now living his life and getting into all sorts of trouble. Fortunately, Zach can always count on his friends—even this mixed-up magical world’s versions of them! If he can just convince the guys about the truth of his world-jumping misadventure, Zach knows, they’ll work together to figure out how to put everyone back where they belong—before it’s too late. It’s another hilarious adventure from the online and Instagram sensation Zach King. The book comes complete with a free downloadable augmented reality app that animates the illustrations in the book, bringing them to full three-dimensional life.

My name is Zach, and everyone in my family can use an object to perform one kind of magic. However, my parents and sister don't know that I can perform magic with any magical object. I let them think magic skipped me, so I can attend public school with my friends. Today, I came home and told my mom I'd organize the artifacts in our attic. I fell off a stool, tumbled into a mirror, and ended up in another world. Everyone here can perform magic, except for me, and my friends are behaving really differently. I wonder how this world's Zach is doing in my world, and I've got to find some way to get home. Unfortunately, I tried to go back through the mirror again, but I made a big mistake. Now, I fear I may be stuck here forever.
The summary above should give you a good idea of what to expect. I didn't realize this was the third book in a series when I chose it, but it didn't affect my understanding of the plot. The main character got thrown into a reverse world. The reverse Zach, named Jak, presented a creative twist to the conflict. The world switch enabled him to perform magic for the first time, and he was overjoyed with the change. He wasn't really motivated to correct the switch with Zach. The plot moved so quickly that there wasn't time to develop the characters. The book's opening pages listed the characters along with their descriptions, and that was as deep as the characterization went. I was expecting the comparable characters in the alternate worlds to be opposites, but they were just different. Zach's best friend was still his best friend, only buff and popular, and his archenemy/school diva was now nice, not Zach's close friend. Even though Zach and his friends were thirteen years old, the book could easily be enjoyed by younger readers. There weren't any subplots, and the entire focus (except for Jak) was on getting Zach home. Overall, it was a fun, quick read, and I recommend you give it a shot.
