In the second installment of this series, we again find Valerie and Samantha meeting up for a week of summer fun. Of course, now this fun happens to involve the magical mirror that takes the girls into a real work of fairy tails. This time the girls are tasked with helping a horse in the real world through the magical fairy world. The girls will once again meet familiar characters on the way to saving the day.

I always love this aspect of retelling some very familiar stories. This book sees our girls solving some riddles and trying to stay out of trouble, two things that Samantha and Valerie don't find particularly easy to do. It has all the fun of the first book, plus a little more to keep you intrigued. There are new characters both good and bad. We also get to see Samantha and Valerie grow some as they get a little older. It's always fun to revisit old characters in new adventures, so if you enjoyed the first book you will definitely love this one too.
