When two girls swap places through a mysterious mirror, they find themselves in different centuries with different rules and expectations for girls.  Twelve-year-old Hannah swaps places with Maggie, an original occupant of the The Elms Mansion where Hannah’s dad now works, and they find themselves trying to stop the theft of a portrait of Maggie without changing the future for Hannah.  Can they set things right in the past and swap back to the way things were?  Or will their swap become a permanent trade?  (Oklahoma Sequoyah Book Awards, 2020)
