The story: Tara's life already falling apart when the mirror world is discovered: her mom bails on the family, her best friend is spending a year in Argentina, her crush is someone else's boyfriend. But the appearance of Terra Nova, which seems to be a world mirroring Earth, makes her wonder if there's another Tara in that place, one who's popular, and whose mom didn't just go off to join a cult. And when the popular crowd seems to start pulling her into their orbit, she has to wonder: how much influence does Terra Nova have on Earth--and will it bring her good luck...or the opposite?
June Cleaver's ratings: Language R; Violence PG; Sexual content R; Nudity PG-13; Substance abuse R; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content PG; adult themes (parental abandonment, teen sex, many instances of underage drinking) R; overall rating R.
Liz's comments: Explicit language and on-page sex--along with an ambiguous ending that doesn't qualify as "happy"--make this a story for the high school crowd, not MS. Girls who are fans of E. Lockhart's "We Were Liars" will like this one too.
