Book description
Who is the ghost in the mirror? Time has flown since Rose left the
orphanage behind, and she loves her new family at Mr Fountain's magical
house. But she still can't help wondering - what happened to her real
family? Were they full of magic too, like her? Then Rose discovers a
clue to the mystery: a silver mirror which once belonged to her mother.
A mirror with a ghost... Holly was born and grew up in south-east
London, but spent a lot of time on the Suffolk coast. As a child, she
had two dogs, a cat, and at one point, nine gerbils (an accident). At
about ten, Holly fell in love with stories from Ancient Greek myths,
which led to studying Latin and Greek, and eventually to reading
Classics at university. She worked for five years as a children's
fiction editor, before deciding that writing was more fun, and easier to
do from a sofa. Now living in Reading with her husband, three sons and
one cat, Holly runs a Girl Guide group. The Rose books stem from a
childhood love of historical novels, and the wish that animals really
could talk.
