Jacqueline Rayner offers a teenage twist on a timeless fairy tale classic, bleeding fantasy into the fabric of everyday life. Expect some bloodstains!

Best friends Carla and Natasha are cast in the school's pantomime version of Snow White, alongside newcomer Lucy. Carla is more than happy with her part as the Wicked Queen, Natasha will play a dwarf and Lucy has the lead of Snow White.

To enhance the set, Ms Simmons, the drama teacher, purchases an old, ornate mirror she finds in an antique shop. But when Carla begins to rehearse with this new 'magic mirror', Natasha notices that Carla's attitude is beginning to change...

A happy fairy story this Teen Read is not as jealousy, fear and obsession create a brilliantly tense atmosphere that will keep even the most reluctant of readers rooted to the spot!
