Falcon Quinn and the Black Mirror, by Jennifer Finney Boylan

Thirteen-year-old Falcon Quinn and his neighbors, Max and Megan, board bus number 13 for school on an ordinary day in Cold River, Maine. Only the bus doesn't take its ordinary route, and Falcon and his friends soon find themselves in an extraordinary place on Shadow Island, at the Academy for Monsters. With a student body stranger than the cast of any monster movie Falcon has ever seen, the academy is home to creatures and oddities of all kinds. In the academy's atmosphere, Falcon's friends begin to unleash and enjoy their monster natures, from flying with Pearl, La Chupakabra, to decaying with the "Zombie Snap." Falcon has always felt different, with his one bright blue eye and one shadow-black eye, but is he really a monster? Will he discover the other thing that makes him different when he finds himself in the Black Mirror? And when he learns that the school's mission is to teach students to hide their aberrant natures, Falcon and his friends need to find a way to fight back for their monster selves. Bestselling author Jennifer Finney Boylan introduces Falcon, Max, Megan, and their band of monster friends in this first installment of a hair-raising and sidesplitting adventure of monstrous proportions.

Impressively solid YA
By Christine F. Stewart
You can compare Falcon Quinn to Harry Potter, and you will. But it's not a knockoff. Boylan's off-kilter writing style and her eye for amusing and engaging characters brought me into the story from the very first line. The pacing of the story was a little jumpy early on, but the book quickly settles into a smooth flow and the pages sail by.

Falcon as a character is not unusual, which is the point. He feels like the decent-hearted struggling kid you probably knew in school, or possibly WERE in school. What's enjoyable about him is that right from the outset, he's TRYING to do right. His mistakes are as interesting as his successes, and he reaches only normal teenage levels of emo rather than bipolar bogglement. His friends Max, Megan, Pearl, Johnny and the rest are great fun in their own right. The dialog is the kind I can hardly resist reading out loud, both because it's well-written and funny, but also because I can hear each character's voice so clearly in my own head.

The plot is entertaining as well. It rolls along, rarely in a straight line, but always going somewhere new and...well, FUN! Though you can probably deduce where the story will wind up, this is a book about the trip and not the finish line. And the trip is worth taking.

Finally, the theme. I liked that it's more questions than answers. While it's clear Boylan has ideas about what the answers are, she does less pushing than some inferior YA authors do. What makes someone a monster? What is acceptance worth? Ultimately, how much do I have to make way for the world and how much must the world make way for me? A bad author tells. A good one asks.

The story does cover the age-old YA theme of finding out what makes you special and worthy, but to say that's a Harry Potter trope does disservice to the MANY books on this theme that have come before and after. Narnia, anyone?

Similarly, the setting ("special" children learning to manage their powers) is also very well-traveled ground. Diana Wynne-Jones, Tamora Pierce, Andre Norton and many others have written on it, and that's just off the top of my head and not mentioning the X-Men. Certain ideas are WORTH revisiting.

Falcon Quinn and the Black Mirror is a quick, enjoyable read with memorable characters and dialog. I'm not typically a series-reader, but I'm very much hoping for a sequel.

Of A Genre
By Paula Keiser
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.
