California Bookwatch¤ 2) Hardcover Book MirrorMask (children's edition) by HarperCollins. I personally found the fantastical MIRRORMASK to be an enjoyable read. The story itself wasn´t too terribly gripping but I loved the way in which it was written. Neil Gaiman is a master at creating new worlds and painting vivid imagery with his captivating words. But please note that while this is called the "children´s edition" I´d have to say it is more like a young adult read. Granted it´s a short book with only 80 pages of storytelling intersperced with pictures taken from the movie as well as illustrations from Dave McKean, in a sense it is too grown-up for real young kids to enjoy.¤ 3) Hardcover Book MirrorMask (children's edition) by HarperCollins. The Children´s book, like all of McKean´s work, is beautiful. The story is good and funny, although not as full or deep as some of Mr. Gaiman´s work. I wish the movie had wider distribution. My children are enjoying the book.¤ 4) Hardcover Book MirrorMask (children's edition) by HarperCollins. Helena is about to embark on a most amazing journey. Raised in a family of circus performers, she´s always dreamed of leading a more ordinary life. But when haunting music draws her into a strange and magical realm, one where anything can happen, her real life is stolen by a runaway from the other side. Helena must rescue the realm from chaos in order to win back her own not-so-ordinary life. MirrorMask is a breathtaking film written by bestselling author Neil Gaiman and brought to life through the vision of acclaimed artist and director Dave McKean. This original novella is Helena´s tale in her own voice, written by master storyteller Neil Gaiman and accompanied by original art by Dave McKean and images from the film; it is a stunning and magical journey. ¤Page Updated: Robert N.
