The third of a trilogy, I read and reviewed the first. A Borrowers style world where three clans, friends and rivals live in secret, the stories centre on Gafferty a young member and from reuniting her family with other Smidgens in the first book has been the focus of adventure and a dream of reuniting the clans. This story focusses on the potential reuniting of magic mirror fragments, with two different and competing rivals emerging to threaten the whole clans way of life...

A good adventure with varied characters, differences and perils to keep the story going along at a good pace. Long enough to have twists and turns, engaging and keeps the attention with illustrations throughout the book. A good finish(?) to the series with the potential of more stories to come.

Probably best to read at least the first one first for children to get the starting point, simpler background and beginning of the world, to get to know the main characters and go from there. Can be read without that, though I suspect the enjoyment would be more in taking them in order and the stories do follow on.
