The Mirror of Wishes
by Yulita Ran and Valentyna Melnychuk
Description
One day, a famous collector’s widow brings an antique mirror to the restoration workshop of Milana’s father. The legend of the mirror says that it can grant wishes. And even though it seems silly at first, soon enough the mirror turns out to be genuinely magical. After proving its powers and fulfilling Milana’s wishes, the mirror becomes an asset for someone with a corrupted heart. As it gets stolen, the young detectives — Milana and her friend Nazar — are trying to find out who is behind this crime. Will it be possible to return the priceless thing before there’s any more damage?
This masterfully illustrated book shows us an example of good life choices and righteous priorities. It teaches kindness and compassion and prompts us to think about what is really important. Being told from the perspective of a child, the story explicitly shows how complicated the child’s feelings can be when growing up and facing grown-up challenges.
