|title=The Secret Mirror (Emily Feather)

|summary=Mo O'Hara's [[ My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish by Mo O'Hara|first book]] made quite a splash in our house, with both of my sons declaring it ''the best book ever''. Considering the number of books in our house, that is really saying something. [[My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish by Mo O'Hara|My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish]] had everything a boy could want - a mad scientist - a computer hacker and a zombie ( or more accurately a zombie goldfish) along with action, adventure and a huge helping of humour. My sons have been counting the days until the release of the sequel (or should we say Sea-quel?). My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish was always going to be a difficult act to follow. When your first book is absolutely perfect, children do expect you to carry on the same vein. Thankfully, Mo has pulled it off again with a sequel just as good as the original.
