I haven't finished this book yet. However, I do feel like I should put a little review just so something is here, plus I don't mind if I add a little here and there.
When I first started reading the book I enjoyed the cover. At first glance I thought it was a boy that in hunched over on his legs. This isn't the case. And with the title of " Boy in the Mirror", it really sounded like it was a 50/50 chance of interest.
I am enjoying the book I'm over half way through it. I think I'm in the eleventh chapter.  For what I thought was going to be a book that was a little bit of a 'boy in a mirror', its so much more than that.
Its start with a boys running away from home I think, and one boys falls hurts himself. He dies. Then what turns out to be a lost boy running a way from what I assume he believes is his flat. Only to later fall asleep and suddenly awaken as a mystical force over takes his body. He is no longer a little boy he's something else.
Now we turn the page to a young girl named Jacqueline "Jackie" as she prefers.  Growing up in one foster care to another. Lives with this family, this religious family that makes her be the good girl she is supposed to be. After all, the foster parents have a younger daughter that she has to placate to. Things turn for the worst when her foster father forces himself on her.
However, she still has her friend and always will, the boy in the mirror.

More to come....
