I wish I had stepped into him long before now as this book was awesome and the flow of the story just kept me moving at a fast pace. This is my first time reading and I do not know why I haven't stepped into his world yet as I know he has been around a long time. That is about all I can give on a backstory and if you want to know more about this story then you will need to read the book! Things go from bad to worse when the landlord's son, Emilio disappears and Martin fears that the mirror snatched Emilio as what else could have happened to him, but his fears are confirmed when another boy steps out into the real world that looks to be an exact replica of 'Boofuls'. Martin begins to wonder if maybe the soul of Boofuls is inside the mirror and he was not imagining things after all. When Martin tests out the mirror by throwing a tennis ball at the mirror he is shocked when the tennis ball disappears into the mirror and another ball is shot out into his world. Martin 'thinks' he sees Boofuls in the mirror, but he puts it down to his imagination as how could the child star be in the mirror when he was supposed to have been murdered.

Though Martin finds out quickly that 'something' is not right with the mirror as things seem to be reflected differently in the mirror than in the real world. So when he has the opportunity to buy a mirror that had hung in the child star's home Martin cannot refuse to buy it as he wants to add it to his collection.

Martin Williams is obsessed with everything and anything that had belonged to a child movie star named Boofuls that was murdered in the 1930's as he has his home decorated with different memorabilia from the actor.
