Helena is about to embark on a most amazing journey.

Raised in a family of circus performers, she's always dreamed of leading a more ordinary life. But when haunting music draws her into a strange and magical realm, one where anything can happen, her real life is stolen by a runaway from the other side. Helena must rescue the realm from chaos in order to win back her own not-so-ordinary life.

MirrorMask is a breathtaking film written by bestselling author Neil Gaiman and brought to life through the vision of acclaimed artist and director Dave McKean. This original novella is Helena's tale in her own voice, a stunning and magical journey.

      Young British television actress Stephanie Leonidas reprises her film role as Helena Campbell, the daughter of circus performers who is cast into a dark realm that is part ALICE IN WONDERLAND, part WIZARD OF OZ, and part Salvador Dali. In a moment of rebellion, Helena wishes her mother dead. Later that evening, her mother falls into a coma, and Helena soon falls into a bizarre fantasy world in which a Dark Queen tries to wipe out Helena's past and make her a Dark Princess. Leonidas reads with a rich, sweet voice but lacks the energy and emotional intensity of her on-screen performance. Still, her enticing accent coupled with Gaiman's off-kilter storytelling makes MIRRORMASK a delightful, if at times spooky, family audiobook. S.E.S. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine

      Gr 6-9 -"Coraline" fans too young for -The Sandman - series (DC Comics) form the most likely audience for this novella of the film "MirrorMask". A fitful dream the night before her mother -s surgery takes 15-year-old Helena to a world split into light and darkness. The queen of the White City is ill, and only the stolen MirrorMask can save her and her kingdom. As Helena -s quest to find the Charm wears on, she realizes that she might not be dreaming after all. McKean -s stark but lively pen-and-ink drawings perfectly reflect the narrative -s sinister humor. The images from the film, however, are drab and unclear. While entertaining, this scant story is less developed than Gaiman -s other work and, being a movie tie-in, threatens to join the growing pile of pop-culture ephemera all too soon." -Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library, NY"
