Book #1 in the The Bizarre Bazaar series
A boy discovers a mirror world where dreams turn into a sinister trap.
Twelve-year-old Abel Azari feels invisible until he stumbles into Mirror Town through a mysterious mirror. In this strange world, his dreams come true—his parents adore him, classmates admire him, and his crush notices him. But as perfection unfolds, sinister secrets lurk beneath the surface. Abel must unravel the truth before he becomes a permanent prisoner in this deceptive paradise. Can he escape the enchanting trap of Mirror Town, or will he be lost forever in a world where nothing is as it seems?
Enter the Bizarre Bazaar, a phantasmagorical graphic novel series sure to enchant or entrap its curious customers! In this first twisted tale, a boy stumbles–literally–into Mirror Town, a world where he gets everything he’s ever wanted…or so he thinks. No one ever pays attention to twelve-year-old Abel Azari: not his parents, not the cool kids at school, and certainly not his crush, Ginny Mendoza. To them, he’s always been practically invisible. That all changes the day he discovers a peculiar mirror in his neighbor’s garage. But this isn’t any old mirror, as Abel finds out soon enough when he accidentally falls through it. What waits for him on the other side is a world just like his, except something is…off. Suddenly, his busy parents are spending every minute with him, his classmates treat him like a king, and now the girl he’s been crushing on wants to hang out? It’s the life Abel’s always dreamed of; how could he possibly go back to the way things were before? But not everything–or everyone–is as it seems. Mirror Town hides evil secrets, and Abel will have to unravel them fast before he ends up trapped there forever.
