Falcon Quinn and the Black Mirror Jennifer Finney Boylan Brandon Dorman 9780061728327 Books

Jennifer Finney Boylan began by appearing to have borrowed from the Hobbit-Harry Potter-Maximum Ride genre, in that it involves a society that exists only in imagination. In fact, it begins very much like Harry Potter, with children who are somehow "different" being transported by a magic bus to a school for such unusual people and going through a similar sorting process to discover the exact nature of their "difference."

Then it goes in another direction. Each main character, along with their schoolmates, begin to morph, physically, into the type of "monster" they have been diagnosed to be, and now they must discover how to fit into the world as entirely different creatures from those they have known, and into a society that routinely rejects anyone who doesn't conform to arbitrary norms.

I have begun reading many books and then putting them down after a few chapters, never to cross my eyes again. Others languish on my end table, being read whenever I had nothing else to do. Not so with Falcon Quinn and The Dark Mirror. I began reading on Friday evening, and by Saturday afternoon I had finished all 486 pages. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Falcon Quinn and the Black Mirror Jennifer Finney Boylan Brandon Dorman 9780061728327 Books Reviews

I think this is the best book ever, I have read it 3 times and I wish she was a more well known author, I think this book is not getting the attecine that it deserves. I can not wait for book 2!!!
My nine year old daughter and I loved this book together. It is ver Harry Potteresque, but instead of being a school for wizards it takes place in a school for Monsters. It is mostly about identity. Who am I? A monster, a human, what kind of monster? Is this good or bad? These are great questions for a smart kid to think about. The characters are very well presented and are quite charming. We can't wait for the second book in the series!!
When 13 year-old Falcon Quinn and his classmates Max and Megan board their school bus, they are taken to a strange land. Instead of their regular school, they are taken to the Academy of Monsters. There, the children are told that Max is told that he is a Sasquatch and Megan an elemental. But no one can figure out what Falcon is. At this school for monsters, the new students are told they will leave their monstrous nature behind and learn to live as normal humans in order to hide from the Guardians, the ruthless monster hunters.

Falcon is a relatable boy with a good nature, befriending the friendless and ridiculed. And despite their so-called monstrous natures, most of Falcon's friends are loyal and kind-hearted as well. In a truly unique and fascinating world, the monsters are those whom the reader identifies and feels sympathy.

Readers will also notice many similarities to the Harry Potter series; but Falcon Quinn has a stronger message of self-acceptance and friendship. This fantasy is a fast-paced, action-filled adventure. With a climactic, fantastic final showdown, I was more than impressed with this over-sized story with well-developed characters. Middle readers will love this fun and exciting new series.
Ok, at first, I saw that this book is in the same genre as Harry Potter, The Last Olympian and several others - kids who are "different" go to a school for kids who are similarly "different" - in this case, a school for kids who are monsters and I thought it would just be another copy cat book. But, it is a really good book! The kids don't know they are monsters until they get to the school, and Falcon, the main character, does not find out what kind of monster he is until near the end of the book.
And I think this book is Fantastic! I was really pleased with it.
It emphasizes being yourself and not conforming to the accepted norm.
It is well written, funny, and draws you in and engages you.
It is for the middle school aged child and up and I highly recommend it!
I look forward to the rest of this series.

My son read this book in 2 days when he was 11 years old and he loved it too!
I gave it to my 9 year old grandson, who loves Harry Potter and his first question was, "When does the next one come out?" He loved it! Jenny Boylan is an accomplished writer and the theme of personal acceptance was clear - even to my grandson.
I really enjoyed this book since the end of harry Potter I have been reading books that share that quality and draw me in as a reader and this book fits that criteria I would recomend it for lovers of the Harry Potter series
My 8 year old and I enjoyed reading this together. Adventure, learning about friendships and loyalty. Really opened up coverstations about choosing to do the right thing and what is important in a friend.
