Mirrorverse: Pure of Heart

by Delilah S. Dawson Narrated by Abigail Reno

Overview

Step into Disney Mirrorverse where mirrored reflections of iconic characters are amplified and evolved, becoming battle-ready Guardians that must unite to defeat a powerful evil that threatens their home worlds. Set in a familiar fantasy land, the story begins as Snow White helps a young deer in the forest. However, this is Snow White as reflected and evolved within the Mirrorverse, with new abilities and items infused with Stellar Magic that she must learn how to wield. Despite her new skills and the strange things happening in her world, Snow White has been carrying on as normal...until now. As she returns to her cottage, Snow is met with seven dark, angry expressions, and glowing white eyes. They surround her, claiming they need to capture "the heart of Snow White." Snow desperately tries to reason with who she thought were her friends, but they refuse to listen to her, and she ultimately must use her newly acquired abilities to defeat them. It is only when Stellar Sorcerer Mickey Mouse arrives and explains that the creatures she defeated were not her friends, but instead a group of evil copies created by Fractured Magic. Snow believes that the evil Queen has taken her friends, and it is up to Snow to retrieve them and the Fractured Stellar Mirror before it can be used to destroy Snow's home world forever. But Snow doesn't need to face the Queen alone. Mickey assigns her a team of fellow Guardians, powerful beings from many different worlds who have committed to thwarting the Fractured and protecting the Mirrorverse from harm. Snow meets Tiana-an potion-maker-Rapunzel-a fighter who knows how to wield a frying pan-Stitch-a chaotic blue alien-Sulley- a monster with a big heart-and Hades-the lord of the Underworld. This unlikely crew ventures into Snow's world, where they find growing Fractured hordes, a determined Huntsman, and a newly poisoned dark forest. On the way to the palace, each character faces a challenge seemingly created just for them.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

In the not very distant past, two magical stars collided, sending reality spiraling in two very different directions.” While the old tales continue on as normal in the Source Worlds, in the Mirror Worlds, characters from Disney stories exist in heightened forms. The light and dark mirrors created in the stellar collision fell, pitting the forces of good and evil magic against each other. But the dark mirror has broken, and the Fractured Magic that now claws its way out from it threatens to rend the worlds as we know them asunder. Snow White’s peaceful life has been shattered by this magic: Her friends are missing, her evil stepmother is out to kill her, and she needs to put her fairy tale on hold to sort things out. With the help of new friends from new worlds—including Sulley from Monsters, Inc., Mickey Mouse, and Lilo’s companion Stitch—will she be able to stop the spread of Fractured Magic and set her story to rights? Character development takes a back seat to the adventures, battles, and rich visual details in this plot-driven novel. Familiarity with the main characters will do a great deal to endear them to readers, and the cliffhanger ending promises more adventures in the works. Will appeal to movie buffs seeking light entertainment. (Fantasy. 12-14)- Kirkus (May 1, 2023)
