Reckless cornelia funke series5/28/2023 Jacob’s younger, abandoned brother Will discovers the magic portal and, with their mother now gone, tracks down the enigmatic, usually missing Jacob in Mirrorworld. Jacob is his father’s son, fully deserving of his father’s name.įast forward a dozen years, when Jacob is somewhat of a legend in Mirrorworld, accompanied by Fox who is part vixen, part young woman, but always Jacob’s shadow. At 12, Jacob discovers a magic mirror in his father’s off-limits office, and enters Mirrorworld, where incomparable experiences await to distract him, challenge him, strengthen him … and, most of all, detach him from the ‘real’ world where his brokenhearted mother and timid brother live frightened lives. Jacob Reckless’s father has gone missing. That said, compared to what teenagers could be reading, this remains relatively tame. While definitely filled with swash-buckling fun and heart-thumping adventure, Reckless aims at an older audience from Funke’s other titles: her hero Jacob Reckless ages from 12 to 24 in the first two chapters, not to mention the year of sexual enchantment (entrapment?) with a somewhat explicitly beguiling fairy from whom he must escape. Two brothers, a girlfriend, and a part-time fox set up what will certainly be a multi-volume, another-world adventure from internationally bestselling Cornelia Funke, creator of Inkworld, her last alternate universe series.
