As she spirals into despair, her mirror begins to shine; with a touch, Kokoro is pulled from her lonely life into a resplendent, bizarre fairytale castle guarded by a strange girl in a wolf mask. Six other students have been brought to the castle, and soon this marvelous refuge becomes their playground.\n\nThe castle has a hidden room that can grant a single wish, but there are rules to be followed, and breaking them will have dire consequences. As Kokoro and her new acquaintances spend more time in their new sanctuary, they begin to unlock the castle’s secrets and, tentatively, each other’s.\n\nLonely Castle in the Mirror is a mesmerizing, heart-warming novel about the unexpected rewards of embracing human connection.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1645660400\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1645660400.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tsujimura, Mizuki|Gabriel, Philip\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
