Tattletale Traitor

A wave of pranking is going around. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. When the wrong person gets blamed, Meri hopes the real culprit will confess. It's not looking good until Meri gets a little help sorting out duty, loyalty, and courage from real experts--Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!

So when her eccentric aunt sends her a mirror for her birthday, Meri assumes it was meant for one of her sisters. Meri is much more interested in books than looks. But her mom excitedly hangs the mirror over her desk. Now, whenever Meri sets a book on her desk, its main character appears in the mirror! The characters help Meri deal with the tough situations she faces: bullies, telling the truth, and peer pressure. Meri's Mirror introduces readers to some of the wonderful, creative characters from classic literature while it helps readers negotiate the social issues common to elementary school children.
