Waiting on Wednesday

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It lets us all gush about what soon-to-be released books we are jumping-up-and-down excited for.
Backward Glass 
by David Lomax 

hitting shelves from Flux in October 2013

description:
Crack your head, knock you dead, then Prince Harming's hunger's fed.

It's 1977, and Kenny Maxwell is dreading the move away from his friends. But then, behind the walls of his family's new falling-apart Victorian home, he finds something incredible--a mummified baby and a note: "Help me make it not happen, Kenny. Help me stop him."

Shortly afterwards, a beautiful girl named Luka shows up. She introduces Kenny to the backward glass, a mirror that allows them to travel through time. Meeting other "mirror kids" in the past and future is exciting, but there's also danger. The urban legend of Prince Harming, who kidnaps and kills children, is true--and he's hunting them. When Kenny gets stranded in the past, he must find the courage to answer a call for help, change the fate of a baby--and confront his own destiny.


My thoughts: This sounds creepy and amazing!! A time travel mirror, a creeper who uses it for dark deeds, and the hero who will stop him (fingers crossed!)  I am definitely looking forward to reading Backward Glass!

  2. I haven't really read many books set in the 70s/modern past. The time period doesn't really appeal to me. This does sound really creepy but

  5. I've never seen this one before and the combination of elements sounds very exciting! 70s setting, time travel, fairy tales(? the Prince Harming bit?). I'll definitely keep an eye out for it!
