About this book

Ellen, off school with chicken pox, gets a big surprise one day while examining her spots in the mirror: her reflection starts talking back to her, and even comes out of the mirror!

She is Princess Mirror-Belle, a magical princess from a faraway land, and she leads Ellen into all sorts of trouble. Princess Mirror-Belle, written in short, easy-to-manage chapters, is ideal for children who are just starting to read alone.
