Bookroo's summary

Otto and Sheed, the Legendary Alston Boys, face their toughest challenge yet. In a mirrored world with unique rules, they must capture an escaped prisoner to avoid a million-year punishment. Missus Nedraw, the keeper of the Rorrim Mirror Emporium, offers them a chance to redeem their past misdeeds. Can they navigate this strange realm and bring the fugitive to justice, or will they be trapped in a reflection of their own making? Dive into this thrilling adventure where every decision could alter their fate.

From the publisher

In this new Legendary Alston Boys adventure from Edgar-nominated author Lamar Giles, Otto and Sheed must embark on their most dangerous journey yet, bringing a fugitive to justice in a world that mirrors their own but has its own rules to play by. Unlike the majority of Logan County’s residents, Missus Nedraw of the Rorrim Mirror Emporium remembers the time freeze from The Last Last-Day-of-Summer, and how Otto and Sheed took her mirrors without permission in order to fix their mess. Usually that’s an unforgivable offense, punishable by a million-year sentence. However, she’s willing to overlook the cousins’ misdeeds if they help her with a problem of her own. One of her worst prisoners has escaped, and only the Legendary Alston Boys of Logan County can help bring the fugitive to justice. This funny and off-the-wall adventure is perfect for readers of Jonathan Auxier and Lemony Snicket.
