Frank Penny and the Last Black Stag by Jeremy Elson, Book 3 in the Frank Penny series. A middle-grade adventure story.
When Hayden was a child, she lost her cat. Adults told her the cat ran away, but she knew the truth. The mirror had taken her. She knew because the mirror had given her a glimpse of an alternate world and had nearly pulled her in, so she was certain the cat had suffered that fate.
Twenty years later Hayden discovers the secret of the mirror when she is thrust into it. She learns of a world she never knew existed, and a family she never knew she had. But danger brought her here, and it followed her.
Now, Hayden is on a mission to remove the threat, so that she can begin her magical, meaningful new life in this enchanted world.
