Star's Reflection

by Gail Nyoka

Overview

Even in ancient times, the magic that made the mirror of Het Heru had been a mystery. The mirror is handed to the chosen successor of each High Priestess of the ancient Egyptian temple.

Is it by chance that the mirror is now in the hands of two fourteen-year-old students living in present-day Toronto? They can see into the past. The old magic weaves into the twenty-first century in this tale of two time periods.

About the Author

Gail Nyoka travelled solo to Egypt, a place that has always intrigued her. She has lived in many places: born in Trinidad, raised in England and Wales, and finally settling in Ontario, Canada.
A playwright, writer and oral storyteller, she studied at the University of Ottawa, was awarded the Chalmers Canadian Play Award for Theatre for Young Audiences, and was a Nord Foundation Playwright Fellow at Cleveland Public Theatre. She now divides her time between Ontario and Ohio.

Editorial Reviews

Nyoka's spare, elegant prose and clear-eyed understanding of both worlds come together in a young adult novel that is as easily attractive to this aging lady. I recommend it to anyone with an interest in girls and their lives, ancient Egypt and its religion, romance, friendship, jealousy, and understanding. Very nicely done.
