I read Palace of Mirrors by Maragaret Peterson Haddix. This book was very suprising. There's constantly suspense.

ReplyDeleteI loved the book Palace of Mirrors it was an amazing book. The plot was very different than most books. The author Margaret Peterson Haddix adds the perfect balance to the story of Cecilia and Harper. The character Cecilia is very well thought out and explained during the story. I loved the twist at the end of the book that helped all of the characters in the end. All in all 2 thumbs up!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the book Palace of Mirrors a girl named Cecilia is a princess who is trying to hide her identity as a princess bc she knows that if someone finds out that they will try to kill her. She is best friends with a boy named Harper who doesnt know that she is a princess. She wants to tell him but then again she is scared that he might tell someone else her little secret. Later on in the book she finds that there are 12 other girls on the throne that is really supposed to be hers. Will she ever get the throne or will she just stay a hidden princess forever?
ReplyDeleteis there a second book of the Palace of Mirrors? please answer!
ReplyDelete@mimi. no, but it there was a book before it called Just Ella. It's not technically like Palace Of Mirrors was "part two" but it does kindof go with the first story. That's why it says on the cover of Palace Of Mirrors "Return to te World of Just Ella"!. but, yah, theres not a second one.
ReplyDeletethe book is very good
ReplyDeletei love this book it is so fun to read and adventurous it is the most funnest book EVER.
ReplyDeleteThis book kept me wondering the whole time I was reading it. One reason was because Cecilia had been told her whole life she was the real, true princess but then she was told her real parents were murdered and the queen just wanted her to be safe so she kept her in the palace. So if you love suspenseful stories this would be a great book for you. I love this book and you will too.
