Nick is an orphan who has grown up in his uncle Jack's care on the wild, wooded coast of New England. His parents died when he was a baby during a terrible influenza epidemic that swept the region not long after World War I. Nick first realizes something is wrong when he notices he no longer has a reflection. Then a neighbor he has known all his life accuses him of ignoring her. Soon Nick is blamed for all kinds of trouble around town. Is some other boy who looks like Nick creating all the problems? Nick suspects that something even stranger is going on. Ultimately he proves that someone else is trying to get him in trouble. Refusing to let this shadow of a boy take over his life, Nick develops a plan with his friend Gypsy to get rid of his mirror image for good.
Award-winning author James Lincoln Collier has written a haunting story of two boys-one alive, one a ghost-who confront each other and their small town in a battle to determine who is the more deserving of the one life they seem to share.
Book Reviews (2)
I read The Empty Mirror by James Lincoln Collier. The genre of this book is mystery because the main character Nick doesn’t know why something happened to him. The book has 192 pages. It has 10 chapters. This is not a series although James does include another book on the front called “My Brother Sam is Dead”.Some of the important characters are Nick, Uncle Jack, and an unnamed boy. I would give 4½ stars because it is a very good book.
